Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
For posterity; the Flying Merkel that sold a couple weeks ago. An amazing completely unmolested machine. Beautiful original paint, decal badge, and Vitalic tires. Not mine so I can’t answer any questions about it. Congratulations to the new caretaker! It has landed with a most honorable gentleman. I hope to see this in person someday soon.

I don't mean to contradict you Patric but I am seeing 28" even with the "horsepower added." I have new prescription reading glasses so maybe they got the script wrong. 26" would certainly make it a rare bird indeed!

I have confirmed with the new owner the tires are 28”.

Brant ... It is highly-possible i am totally wrong in my perception
and resultant thinking / statement, in Entry #843 of this thread.
My judgement was (is) influenced by what appears to be a smaller
than full-size motorbike saddle AND that 26-T ring ... both of which
appear to me as being in scale with this bicycle.
Just hopin' to know truth .. whatever it may be.

An interesting machine for sure. 1918? I'd like to know what the seat tube measures. Seems like it has a short head tube and the frame just seems more compact than what I'm used to seeing. Just wondering if there was a 28" wheeled juvi? V/r Shawn

According to a distinguished collector, a 28” wheeled camelback was offered between 1917-1919. The frames measures out at 19”.
