Merckx Geometry. If you find on of these frames, you likely won't fit the size you think you will. I ride a 57cm (Square) frame. This 60 fits me perfectly. An amazing frame the does everything really well, though sluggish on the steep stuff.

Stem is not long, 120. The MX has a 72.2 seat tube angle. My setup on a 73.5 seat tube is right about in the middle of te seat rails. At 72, a setback seatpost won't allow the seat where it needs to be. I had to find a zero setback to make it work. Pretty common for these frames, for what I've read.

Build & Ride~the MX Leader

Submitted by Hyde on 09/28/2013.

Build & Ride~the MX Leader is made up of MXL tubing. It's odd shaped & over sized tubing. It's one of the most unique riding road frames. It just wants to glide forward with every pedal stroke. I don't want to bore anyone, it's made using Merckx geometry. The MXL tubing was a special design for Merckx, I believe.
