Subject: [CR]Help with Mercier model ID

I'm currently building up for my wife a Mercier frameset I bought some years ago, I think from Brad at American Cyclery (BTW, Brad, if you read this, please contact me about another deal).

I may bring this to Larz, and need to identify the model designation and approximate date. I'm guessing it is mid-late 70's due to the pre-TI Reynolds Tube Co. 3 Tubes 531 DB decal. Mercier pink of course, with white Mercier decals and a Fait Main (Handmade) hand decal above the shift levers. Long point lugs with cutouts, lined in gold. I assume the fork and stays are Super Vitus, since the DO's are stamped "Super Vitus". I never even knew there were such things as Super Vitus DO's. No brazeons except the RD cable stop and the little bump under the downtube to keep the shifter clamp from slipping down the tube. Mercier-engraved semi-sloping fork crown. The usual 70's Mercier foil headtube decal. No chrome at all.

Because of the 3 Tubes tubeset, this was obviuosly a couple of step below the top of the line. Can anyone tell me the model designation and confirm or refute my guess as to the date?
