Eddy's 1969 Bike

 

 

The Dream Bike of 1969 - Eddy Merckx’s Tour de France Winning Bicycle
 
Merckx1969Bike-1w
Here is a beautifully drawn illustration by Rebour that was published in International Cycle Sport soon after Merckx’s victory - along with a second highlighting some of the key components. It is only in monochrome but the accuracy and the detail shows an in-depth understanding by the artist of bike construction and equipment.

Over time a lot of myths have built-up about the bike’s that Eddy rode - but these are probably the most accurate illustrations that were actually done at the time and should be a reliable reference free from later changes.

If anyone wants copies of the original pages as PDFs - then contact info via internationalcyclesport.com
