This is a wood wheeled bike and looks like a nickle plated fork

Looks like quite an early small frame truss Iver, 1908/09ish ?? Repainted at some point in time. Not a bike (I believe) someone is going to keep as is, but a good candidate for restoration. Pete in Fitchburg

Is that nickle plate under the headbadge??? If the head-tube is plated, then yahoo. You might have a Racer.

Iver & Handyman are the experts here.....Do you think it is a model 90 - Road Racer or do you think it was a 1188 roadster? or is that a much later version. Here is a pic of LuxLows 1920-26 version. I am not an expert - just owned a few. Just throwing a couple of examples up there for you. Also that Major taylor stem is interesting.

Picture of a possible 1911 Roadster thought to be a 1188....also serial number on this one is fairly close.

I think Ivrjhnsn is correct, this bike could very well be an early racer. I wasn't even thinking racer when I first looked at the pics but now that i look at the possibility of a nickel plated headtube and the "special truss" design, I'm really starting to think early racer here. Concerning filmonger's post above, I'm not sure that's a model 90 Iver. Doesn't have the chrome headtube or fork, I'd have to see a better pic of the fork to tell if its a racing fork. Someone repainted it and didn't even bother to put the pinstriping back.
