Oh boy, great fun.

1979 Jim Merz custom touring, full Campy and Cinelli with Suntour bar-cons, custom racks with integrated Eclipse pannier slide on mounts and paint to match Silca with Campy head. Super Champion 40 spoke wheels with low flange hubs.

This was built for Paris-brest-Paris but turned out to be a bit small so a Davidson was rushed through and ridden to a very good result.

This bike rides amazingly well, I took it to Leroica 2017 and was flat out down a long gravel hill where the faster we went the more stable it rode.
