@chenshiwei the movie is from 2002,there were not many carbon frames back then. you can hear eddy say they make 5-10% steel frames and the rest aluminum and titanium ,so no carbon in 2002.
hampsten didnt ride a merckx when he rode the giro? and i think armstrong rode a light speed not a merckx. still....i love merckx bikes totally awesome just like eddy himself
Lance Armstrong rode a Litespeed frame that was painted as a Caloi for a TT in the tour. To say that Lance didn't use a Merckx in 92, 93, 96 and some other years would be wrong. He rode many bikes but during those years above he was usually on the Motorola Merckx, usually a MX Leader. Often for time trials, something special is used because of the aerodynamics.
where are the carbon fibre bikes? why didnt they talk about it? where are they made?

You are part right. Litespeed made frames for Merckx (I have one) used by the Motorola team with Hampsten & Lance early in his career.
