I want to buy this Mercier Special tour de France bike, it has got realy funky colours and nice decals. The problem is, that i cannot see if it's a real "special Tour De France" or not. It has got Mafac Racer Brakes, simplex derailleurs and a pivo stem, but in general it looks a littlebit cheap with this components (nevermind the cranks).

Does anybody recognize the frame, is it 531 or not? I would appreciate any help by buying this fancy icecream.
