Miami barn find

[Goldslinger]

I keep finding old bikes all over the place lately. Any info on this Miami frame would be most helpful. I picked a high wheeler today and my buddy said I have this up stairs in my barn are you interested? What do you guys think?

Cool find. Not sure on the year but it’s a Westfield Miami bicycle. Badge looks very similar just without the words. Interesting find. Hopefully Someone can help more. Thanks for sharing

Westfield built.

Bottom bracket cups (not shown) may be undersized; Westfield crank may be under the seat, (not the lazy heart).
If it has a serial stamp, I believe 1923 restarted with letter A; under fork crown could be stamped too.
Looks like a special Westfield seat post binder bolt is needed.

Do you guys think it is worth a couple hundred bucks? I have been buying so much lately , my wife is going to put the clamps on me soon.

Can you get tires to fit this bike ? I was thinking about making an offer but I wanted to see about the cost of making it roll first.

My recommendation would be Robert Dean tires, they are a perfect fit for the existing rims.

Is this bike worth that investment in the tires?
