MARIE (Crazybikelady) ... my what a keen and discerning eye you have !!! The little tribute ride in your
send appears to be very-well crafted ... and the fork ... don't know if it actually has up and down movement ..
suspension .. but it sure looks like a Joe Merkel design.

Oh, Marie ... this is very-kool stuff ...... wait a minit ... the lights on my Christmas Tree just lit up ... somehow my
coffee cup just got a refill ... and i heard a bell ring !!!

Thank YOU, Marie ........

These Next 2 Are Not The Same Machines ..

While we wait on the final verdict, has anyone seen this type of Racycle bottom bracket?

I may have asked before, but Miami used a few different methods here and I'd like some

opinions on the year of this six screw BB. I've never seen another one. One year only?

Dated 1916.

"Two bicycles, one motorized, are in a window display of the Frazier Cycle Company located at 231 S. 11th Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. Signs by the bikes say: "The Flying Merkel Bicycle, High Grade in Every Part, $35.00" and "The Miami Power Bicycle, Not a make shift or attachment but a Real Motor Equipped Wheel at $115.00, ask the riders." The display includes sand, leaves and a backdrop of an outdoor scene"
