Anyone here own a Miami / Flying Merkel Bicycle?

Wow...thanks for the posting of the catalog pics. My suspicions on my arch bar are being realized. I'm thinking 1919 might be it. Very possibly a merkel!
 
redline1968 ... you might as well go all the way with your archbar ......

2jakes ... Doood ... I gotta see one o' these brass badges you are gonna make ...
No Charge to use my image ... go for it ... !!!

Would not mind receiving one of them .. and Carlton is already mentally-attaching them to
a coupla teen's-era, orphan frames. Have fun .. and be careful not to hurt yourself !!!

Carlton / fordsnake ... can't remember if you received one of these ...
but here it is ... use it 'til 2jakes gets those brass ones made !!!

The originals were NEVER attached with screw-plate screws ... The Miami-
Flying Merkel Badge was always attached with a 'bottle-cap' fitting ...

Have Fun .....

Not familiar with "bottle cap" style .

I was going for the screws (one on top & one on bottom.)

It may not be original...but so is the new head-badge.

And it might be more secured this way.

Thoughts ???
 
2jakes ... when you get your brass repop made ... don't use screws ...
rough up the reverse side .. clean with lacquer thinner ... do the same on the
'receiving-area' on the head-tube. Use a GOOD air-craft-grade epoxy as the
connector.

Thanks !

For all the "information"...which I didn't realize was that much.
