Description:
This authentic Colnago Eddy Merckx "Molteni" vintage road bike is based on the legendary Colnago Super frame from the 1970s, finished in the iconic Molteni team orange and featuring official Eddy Merckx branding. The frame was professionally repainted in Italy by a previous owner who was a dedicated Colnago collector. The paint restoration was carried out with great care and in the correct historical shade.
The frame shows all the hallmarks of an early Colnago Super, including the elegant chromed fork crown with short cutouts. It is fully equipped with a Campagnolo Record groupset from the correct era, featuring the first-generation brake calipers with the characteristic “wing” opening mechanism, original bent brake levers and a 1974 rear derailleur.
Additional highlights include original Nisi 700 rims with Campagnolo Record hubs, a classic 3ttt cockpit, and a very rare Colnago saddle, making this bike a period-correct and highly collectible piece.
This rare and beautifully preserved road bike is not only a true gem for any vintage cycling enthusiast or collector, but it is also fully suitable for classic cycling events like L’Eroica, or as a striking design piece for display.
Is the bicycle ready to ride & how much assembly is needed?
Yes, 100%. Every bike is completely overhauled, greased, and pre-adjusted in our Munich workshop before dispatch. To pack it securely, we only remove the wheels and pedals and turn the handlebars. Reassembly takes less than 15 minutes with standard Allen keys and a pedal wrench.
Can I view the bike in person or via live video call?
Absolutely. In-person viewings and test rides are available by appointment at our workshop in Munich. For international buyers, we regularly schedule 1-on-1 live video calls (WhatsApp / FaceTime) to walk you through every pantograph, chrome detail, and component in real time.
Are the components authentic and the frame checked for damage?
Yes. We strictly verify frame alignment, tubing sets, and date codes. We guarantee zero structural cracks, deep rust, or dents. Every groupset is inspected for authenticity and disclosed transparently with high-resolution photos.
How does worldwide shipping, insurance & customs work?
We ship fully insured via DHL / DHL International with a tracking number. For orders outside the EU (USA, UK, Asia, etc.), we provide all official export documentation. Standard transit takes approx. 3–5 days within Europe and 7–12 days overseas.
