Picked up this tandem Flying Merkel track bike today. It is underneath the New Mail high wheel I also picked up (also picked up a shaft drive Rambler). I can’t find any picture of another Flying Merkel tandem so I was hoping somebody could share one. I will take better pictures when the bike finally makes it back to my house. It is in Kansas now and I live in Connecticut so it could be a while. I also threw in pictures of my 3 Racycles. I have been following this thread for a while and figured now is a good time to jump in

I just spent the last 3 hours rereading this post…good stuff! As a contributor to this robust post…I try my best and do my homework. I do not refer or present myself as an expert. I’m just a guy who enjoys researching, digging for the facts and evidence. I recall not long ago a CABE member referred to me as a "paper freak"! That’s a moniker, I proudly wear with honor.

So, was there really a 60T D&J ½ chainring on a Flying Merkel? I’ll let the evidence speak for me.

Several CABE members have asked about my front fork, wanting to know if it was a Flying Merkel option? This particular spring fork is indeed a Miami Cycle Co. produced fork and period correct! The tank is my addition, I had it fabricated for mere aesthetics .

Here the fork is seen on another Flying Merkel.

...also a Racycle and a Racycle motorcycle.
