Hi res pics here

Yours for 210 €uros not pounds, delivered

Any idea of tubing Peter? I can't buy sadly but I do like the look of this bike, it has a somewhat stately elegance....

don't know but they're no fancy reynolds or columbus tubes. it's not a lightweight racer but a relaxed tourer... and indeed it has a certain quality in looks. i like the paint & details like the little crown in fork crown, and the fact it has all french parts, very original (and a bit chauvinist as per 'de rigueur' ;))

Mercier used Reynolds in the 70's - I have a Mercier 300 which is 531. I think they used columbus from the early 80's though

ah! thanks for the enlightenment, no decals on this one though. maybe, zey 'ave removed zem...

I could be interested, will send P.M.

still available?

3rd dibs if not already sold, e-mail sent

Worth the money, they're decent bikes. I had a 70's one which was columbus tubing, shimano 600 group set and it was pretty light...

sold and on its way to London
