1978 Jim Merz touring custom, built for the original owner to take to Paris brest Paris, it turned out to be a tad small so a Davidson was rush built and taken where they did very well.
Wish this bike had gone but then it may not be in the great condition it is in. The original owner did ride it quite a bit anyway and took great care of it.
Only things changed are the saddle, bar tape and tires.
This pic is from shortly after I got it and I took the Eclipse pannier brackets off as they were unattractive, later I met up with the original owner and he gave me the panniers and an extra Jannd set, I put the brackets back on and show it with the panniers now but no pics with them yet.
Maybe not just a survivor but I've seen several in bad shape despite being some of the finest when they were built
