Anyone heard of a frame builder called Laurent Paris?

Ahhh cool. I'll change my search criteria.
I have and that's it. Nice. Shame the ad says 'offers', I have no idea what it might go for. And Columbus 'Special' tubing? Just found a link that says its most likely SL. Might offer 300€..
Here she is

It definitely has the "cool" factor. I kind of like it, and it would be a unique bike for that group ride. Yeah, I would offer 300 for it. Any idea how it rides and handles? It would also be nice to see how the seat stays are connected to the seat tube and the seat cluster.
It looks like it didn't fit the previous owner to well. Stem is to long, so it looks as though the seat was moved to far forward to reach the bars. It will certainly look better with the seat properly positioned.
That pista is really pretty. Very graceful.
