This is a pre-owned vintage Eddy Merckx Pista Hour Record tribute bike in size 58cm. It is equipped with Campagnolo, Cinelli, and Fiamme components. This bike is a 50th anniversary tribute to one of the greatest achievements in cycling history.
On October 25th, 1972, Eddy Merckx broke the Hour Record in Mexico City, covering a distance of 49.431 kilometers. To pay homage to this incredible feat, I have built this bike using a genuine 1982 Merckx Pista frame and components from Campagnolo, Fiamme, and Cinelli. I hope you will appreciate this tribute.
The frame is a vintage original Eddy Merckx 1982 Pista frame made with Columbus SL tubing. It has chrome rear ends and has been painted to replicate the original design. The frame has the serial number #E3834, which matches the numbers on the other components.
The bike is equipped with a combination of very good condition (VGC) and new old stock (NOS) parts. The cranks are Campagnolo Pista chainset with a 52t x 14t 1/8" ratio. The bottom bracket is also from Campagnolo Pista. The hubs are also Campagnolo Pista, and the rims are Fiamme Red. The tubular tires are Pevani Corsa. The seat post is a Campagnolo Nuovo Record in 27.2mm, and the saddle is a Cinelli Unicanitor. The stem is a titanium 130mm, replicating the Pino stem. The handlebars are Cinelli 65, and the pedals are Campagnolo Pista with Alfredo Binda straps.
As you can see from the pictures, no expense has been spared in building this bike. I have tried to replicate the original spirit of the Hour Record bike while also making it practical for riding. This bike is ready to ride, but it can also be displayed on a wall as a piece of cycling history.
