This appears to be Eric Pichon's race bike, these Castor 753 frames were made by Cyfac. It's going for a very reasonable £750 equivalent.
 
The bike is available to view in Paris. I guess for anyone living in the south of England this could be a viable train ride/weekend break in the city and purchase. If anyone is interested I can probably get the contact details of the seller, PM me.
 
This is hilarious, seller asking a cool $16,000 for a Castorama 'Laurent Fignon' with 3 feedback and absolutely zero provenance!
