What do I have here? Truss frame Miami built Flying Merkel?

I tried removing the head badge, but the screws don't want to come out. The badge look original, and I don't think it was ever removed.

Can somebody narrow down the year? Miami went out of business in 1922? It's got metal clad wheels with ND model C rear hub. No chain adjuster screws, double fender braces on the front fender.

I'm thinking 1917 - 1919, that frame style changed in the later years. Your bike may be a private label Miami supplied to Simmons. But this is just my opinion as I'm still soaking up Miami knowledge. I think some of your parts have been added at some point in this bikes life as those parts wore out.
