OK, anybody know if this is actually a Merckx or a French frame in Merckx decals? I'm inclined to believe the latter, as this is the same seller that sold me a child sized ALE cage and bottle saying it was the 'vintage way' of drinking. :-P

"This frame was a special serie for the french importer." says the seller.<<<

My advice on this would be "proceed at your own risk, and with extreme caution". Doesn't look like any Merckx I've ever seen! I've owned four very distinctly different ones, and seen quite a few others, including the cheap-o Falcon-built ones. Methinks this ain't no Merckx.
