Pretty incredible; this guy up in Colorado has built reproductions of 11 of Eddy Merckx' bikes, and he's working on number 12. Beautifully detailed, a real labor of love. NOS parts on most of them.
Edit, he literally built them from raw tubesets, Reynolds, Columbus, with NOS lugs filed and machined to match the original bike, whether it's Colnago, DeRosa, Peugeot (He built a PX10!!). Painted them in his own booth. Incredible stuff. At the end he shows his frame table; it's a huge machinists' granite with custom fixtures.
