No reason it couldn't be built down to the UCI min weight. Most of the weight of a bike is not the frame.

The headset looks all wrong on a steel bike.

It's OK if you're OK with fat headsets. The "Handcrafted in Belgium by eddy merckx" label is naughty IMO - should have some suffix on it to show it's the company (actually now Ridley) not the man himself.

Handsome.

Saw this a while back, AG2R are riding EMs now rather than the Factors they were riding - Eddy Merckx is the name of the company so it is made by Eddy Merckx.

The name of the company is Eddy Merckx Cycles NV. I don't mind the tube branding being abbreviated, but it's a bit much to put a sticker with a claim that they were handcrafted by the man himself.
