Anyone here own a Miami / Flying Merkel Bicycle?

I apologize in advance = this is not my bike

I was looking through some pics I had saved to put them in folders.
I thought this might be made by Great Western (or even Snyder) based on the style of the paint darts?

But then the lugs and fender bridges made me think it might be a child of Miami…?

Well I'm almost done with this Merkel project. Many thanks to Dave S. for the 60T chainring. I now need to find a Morrow rear sprocket...I'm working on the decals for the head tube, down tube and the tank.

I need a 20, 22, or 24 tooth - 1/2 " rear sprocket for this hub.

Kickarse! Outstanding work. So glad to see that chainring find a good home! I'll keep an eye open for a 1/2" pitch rear sprocket... probably one of those things where ya gotta find a parts hub to get it.

1920's Flying Merkel Motorbike

Came out of PA, just arrived today. I put it back together as-found. It is "barn fresh"... pardon the cliché.

Some detail shots of things before I put it back together....
