Subject: [CR]Need info on MAIN D'OR bicycle (mike tatum)

I have just come upon a bicycle that is a mystery to me. One owner bike bought in 1973. Full Campagnolo equipped. The only decals on the bike say MAIN D'OR. I have seen one before with a Kessels decal on the head badge. It is a very nice bike with very fine, very long pointed lugs. Paint goes all the way to the dropouts which are chrome. Interesting the whole rear dropout is chrome. This particular bike has a 53cm seat tube but a 55cm top tube. Must be the reason for the small 70mm stem. I am wondering if something like this has much value. It was represented as having some Merckx connection. Anyone out there having any firm info on these bikes. I have searched the archives finding little info there.
