Price Paid:  $350.00 at ebay

Favorite Ride:
S Works E5

Bike Setup:
Dura-ace, Ultegra, Avid, 3T, Roval, Ritchie Speedmax.

Summary:
Cross bike built like a tank. Tubes too thick to ding. Nice high (cross norm) bb and quick steering. The 56 is c to c all around- means the seat collar is too high for me to run enough seatpost to tame the very stiff ride. May ride better with someone heavier than my 150 pounds.

Strengths:
Merckx name. Indestructible. Built like a tank. 27.2 seatpost.

Weaknesses:
Rides like a tank. Weighs as much. Too tall a seat tube for cross. Italian bb.

Similar Products Used:
Lots of Al cross bikes, Kona Jakes, Cannondale Optimo, Specialized.

Favorite Ride:
Merckx Alu Cross

Bike Setup:
Campy Veloce component group. Campy scirocco wheels for road. Mavic MA-3 for inner-city and off road.

Summary:
Very strong bike. I'm a big guy and this thing handles me no problem. I use it for road riding, light off roading and commuting.

Strengths:
A great all around bike for me. A good choice if you're looking for an all in one ride.

Weaknesses:
A bit heavy for some maybe.
