If its a later model, it will have an X as part of the serial if its an SLX bike.<BR/><BR/>If its early, it might not. The SLX decal has always said SLX on it, while the SL decal didn't say SL until the late 80's. SLX wasn't available in quantity until the mid 80's, so if your frame is pre-85, its PROBABLY SL, not SLX.<BR/><BR/>The quick and dirty way to check for SLX is, from the bottom bracket end, to feel for helical ridges in the seat tube. If you've got sharp eyes and a flashlight, you might be able to do it by taking the seatpost out. SLX (and SPX, and TSX...) has them, while SL does not.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461713472346310708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17091441.post-42100531138226145282008-02-27T07:38:00.000-05:002008-02-27T07:38:00.000-05:00Just bought a bike with similar eddy merckx frame...Just bought a bike with similar eddy merckx frame. What do you know about it. The Columbus decal it is sort of faded, I wonder if it is a SLX or a lower quality tube set.<BR/>What year were those frame set of decal produced?
