Eddy Merckx bikes is set to make a comeback thanks to Belgian Cycling Factory, the parent company of Ridley bikes and owner of the Merckx brand. And in a move that will gladden the hearts of longtime bike racing fans, as part of the relaunch it will be releasing a limited edition homage to the Panasonic team bike of the 1980s and 90s – the 'Retrosonic'.
The tribute bike features the blue and white livery of the machines used by the Dutch team, which featured riders including Phil Anderson, Pippa York (formerly Robert Millar) and Eric Vanderaerden, and can be supplied as a version of four of the brand's existing models. It will be available from February 24.
