Eddy Merckx folder 1989
- necessary information for some: "folder" does not mean "folding bike" in this case... this is important
- general remarks from the "Eddy Merckx folder 1997" are valid
- This is a compilation of 3 different editions (made in autumn 1988 and slightly later) for the 1989 season
- the first "generation" of markings appeared (series with "P at the end")
AP (ADR 88), WP (Domex/Weinmann 89), BJP (La William 89), XP (Lotto 88), SE (7-Eleven 89/90 - exception), HP (Hitachi 88/89), DP (Stuttgart 89/90), RP (Kelme 87)
...and XY on top of that (I don't know if it means the whole scheme or specific colors)
- Interesting facts: guys on white caps have K. MINTJENS written on them; stickers on the fork are also an option.
- Sensations (not confirmed in "real life"): information about Corsa Extra built with R653 (!) and 531SL (!!)...

Every time I see "folder" I think folding bicycle, not a product brochure.

Just remember that EMC "certainly didn't build any folding bike"... it's simple
...I wanted to distinguish these threads from all those brochures, catalogues...
...check out the google: it works flawlessly...
...I could use a weirder word, but in several languages (e.g. Dutch/flemish - this is important) there will be no doubt...
