Eddy Merckx Eeklo70 Disc Rival Cyclocross Bike 2017

Eddy Merckx Eeklo70 Disc Rival Cyclocross Bike 2017. Eeklo Belgium is home to one of Eddy Merckx's countless racing victories. In this case though as with this bike, the Eeklo win was in cyclocross. The story features a two man race alongside the legendary cross racer Eric De Vlaeminck. Merckx's tenacity crossed disciplines as we powered to a half wheel victory. If you're itching to create some legendary cyclocross rides yourself, you couldn't ask for a better companion than the Merckx Eeklo70 Disc. The Eeklo70 Disc starts with an ultra light carbon fiber monocoque frame and fork. This keeps things stiff enough for that sprint off the line but also light enough to make shouldering the bike over barriers a breeze. This frameset is held up by the solid Shimano RX31 wheelset and then dressed out in the latest Shimano 6800 Ultegra groupset from the shifters back to the derailleurs. This special version of the Eeklo even includes R785 Shimano hydraulic disc brakes giving you the ultimate in all weather stopping power. Dressed up with the stellar Deda Zero 100 handlebar and stem and the matching Deda RSX01 it would be easy to mistake this for a pro bike. Rolling up to the start line at your local cross race, your adversaries will quake in their clipless shoes and fight for your wheel. Winning the race is ultimately up to you, but one thing's for certain, the Merckx Eeklo is ready.
