Pink was the Mercier Team colour, as used on all their pro bikes that used to compete in the TDF and as ridden by Raymon Poulidor, and the bike is completely original, which is very rare, so it actually makes it even more of a bargain. The pink bar tape isnt my cup of tea, but the bike looks great in the flesh - here is a Poulidors actual bike, which is what i am going to restore mine to look like, though keeping the chrome fork/back as that was a signiture of the 1973 model
