Headbadge was shot, fork was shot front fender was shot, So it didn't leave me with much. Other then a rare frame. I have worked extremely hard to find all the parts. I have two of these frames I chose to use this one this frame is identical to Vaughn's original paint merkel.
Nick, I know I've been gone for a couple of months...but that Merkel looks very familiar to that lugged Miami you purchased, the one that had the split in the drive side chain stay?

Nick ... if your experience in locating specific Miami-Built parts is similar to mine ...
and you met with success ... you have earned for yourself a well-deserved vacation
to The South of France.
Finding Miami-Built pieces is near impossible. I applaud you for your efforts to build
a complete and correct bicycle.
Am always thinkin' ... where the heck are all the Miami pieces - that was a big company.
Seems like i trip over Davis stuff .. but, Miami - that's another story.
You done good - Nick !!

Miami-Built Seat-Stem Attachment Variation .....
Whammo ...great foto of Ethel Roll on that Merkel, chitown !!!
While diggin' this Michigan-built Hudson ... noticed the manner of retaining the
seat stem in the upper seat mast.
A few months later, grabbed these fotos (offa e-bay) of a girl's Miami with the
same features.
There are very many variations of sections of Miami-Built frames and forks. The
lack of a seat-binder pinch bolt has been seen by a few collectors, but now we
have some documentation.

Frame is a Miami-Built, Miami-Badged frame lacking a seat-binder pinch bolt.
