What is this bike?
« on: September 24, 2005, 12:34:57 AM »
Can anyone identify the bike in this great photo?

If you can, update this posting rather than sending me an email, and I will make sure the relatives of the gentleman find out.

Thanks
Nigel.

It would seem to be an early ' Merkel' (later 'Flying Merkel') Merkel can be seen on the tank I think?

You are right!  I've just looked at the original picture which is much larger and it definitely says "The Merkel".  Thanks or your help!
