Well, now that I've gotten around to looking for images of a MERAL touring bike...
I quickly came across this gem! Hmmm, what do you think of that paint color
Batman_3000?
Now
THIS is what I call a very cool looking rear touring rack. - I just gots to git me one!
I hope everyone will take the time to check out the very nice larger images of this bike here:

I'd also seen one on eBay a while back and saved this image showing a different but equally clever smaller luggage rack:
I'll have to dig through my files to see if I'd saved any additional captured images from that auction.
I just noticed that both of these bikes appear to have internal rear brake cable routing.
I do wish people would post larger auction photos (for me to appropriate...)
