    Hi,

    A friend of mine is seriously interested in a Alu Cross.

    Can ayone tell if it has a "normal" headset or does it also have an
    integrated headset?

    Any experience with the frame?

    TIA! Derk

    Hi, I'm looking at this very model in an LBS catalogue from 2005 and
    the headset is integrated. In the corresponding 2004 catalogue, the
    headset is *"normal"*. Sorry, I have no experience of riding the frame,
    though I know one rider with one, who likes it.

    Sold a few-conventioal 1 1/8inch HS, nice 'true' cross frame, No bottle
    bosses or eylets, taller main triangle for good 'shouldering'. A
    bargain at $999 for frame and fork, aluminum.

    I see Merckx' frames are far more expensive overseas. Here they cost around
    650 Euro's. I recommended him to buy a Merckx. This year's colour scheme is
    beautiful too!

    Thanks, Derk

    If your friend is a big guy...Hopmans lists a 64cm 2003 Eddy Merckx Cross
    fitted with Campagnolo Veloce for 695 euros.
