Interbike International Bicycle Expo
Las Vegas, USA, Sept 29 - Oct 3, 2001

Eddy Merckx poses with his team issue Domo Farm Frites Team SC. Made from Easton scandium, the sloping version of this frame results in only a 15 gram weight saving over the regular Team SC frame/fork combination. Eddy is also kicking back in terms of seat angles: a 59cm sloping frame (measured centre to centre - just draw an imaginary line for a horizontal top tube) is now a very relaxed 71.2 degrees.
