Eddie Merckx Millemium 3

This one of the finest titanium frames ever made. The tubing is a combination of 6AL/4V and 3AL/2.3V titanium, many tubes are shaped. Of particular note is the huge, aero 6/4 downtube. Frame construction was done by Lightspeed. I purchased this frame used on eBay in 2005, and I think the Millenium 3 was only made in 2002.

The geometry of the frame is:

  • Seat Tube (C-C) - 61
  • Top Tube - 58.8
  • Head Tube Angle - 73
  • Seat Tube Angle - 72
  • Head Tube - 1.125" diameter, 190mm length

Note: I have gone through a recent spate of update-itis on this bike. The configuration below is where it now stands. I will update the picture soon.
