This is a 531c Services des Courses in Chrome and Team colours - different to the 531 Pro Super. These were just as popular than the 531 Pro Super, maybe more popular. As this is the SDC frame, it has a complete set of Cinelli lugs (fork crown, head lugs, seat lug and BB). Because of the Cinelli seat lug, these frames always had side attached seat stays with the over size cap. The 531 Pro would typically have the standard Prugnat lugs and Haden BB with just a Cinelli crown. It's different to the one that was on Marktplaats recently - chrome was very popular in this period, for example, 50% of the SB 531c/531P frames were chromed in this style in 1985.
