For your consideration is an absolutely beautiful solid, strait, and rideable, wood, Lobdell racing wheelset. Manufacturers stamps show up perfectly. Wheels have a gorgeous original patina and are in exceptional shape, with a 36 spoke Model D New Departure hub to the rear and a 36 spoke hub up...

I am searching for an early racing saddle in decent condition to complete a restoration on an Iver Johnson project that is finally nearing the end. Shoot me a message on what you might have. Will also consider other brands like Wheeler, Hunt, or others. Will pay cash or I have an absolutely...

This is a very decent and presentable Troxel Scout saddle in good original condition, with the “Troxel Scout” script showing up very nicely on both sides of the seat. The saddle is approximately 9” long and 7” wide and includes the original seat post clamp. Some kind of light “spatter” in places...

Hello Cabers, Looking for 1900 to1902 Iver Johnson project in just about any state of disrepair. Ideally would like a frame with BB and fork but will even consider individual parts. Have other Iver parts to trade or will buy outright..........................Watcha Got !! Pete in Fitchburg

On a recent trip to Ludlow, VT we stopped at the Black River Academy Museum to check out some of the exhibits. This little gem of a museum is also home to the Black River Historical Society and contains 3 floors of historical items relevant to the area. To my surprise, as I walked into a nicely...

Hi Cabers, Looking for a set of TOC 36 hole rear and 32 hole front, barrel hubs similar to the attached pic. Hubs do not need to have a great finish as they will be re-plated. Anything out there?? Pete in Fitchburg

For your consideration is a rear carrier for an Elgin Robin or a 30’s Westfield. Rack is all metal, quite heavy and well built with all attaching hardware and no issues other than a little surface rust here and there. Pics tell the story but feel free to ask questions. $225 shipped in CONUS...

Hello Cabers, I have a decent 1900 Iver Johnson bike (attached pic) and a second, not so decent 1900 Iver, that I am thinking about turning into a Major Taylor "Tribute" Bike. I have just about all the parts I need EXCEPT the extended racing stem with the round profile as seen in the 2nd...

So…………….we go up to Old Orchard Beach, ME for a little getaway and I get an email from a gentleman in the Sebago Lakes Region of Maine who just inherited a beautiful lakefront home that has been in the family since 1908. He was cleaning out a shed on the property and in it was this Iver that had...

You’ve just got to love this 1928 Iver Johnson “Truss Frame,” Heavy Duty Delivery/ Service bike. It’s one of the favorites in my collection. This vintage “Made in Fitchburg” bicycle was discovered in Maine and is in “as found” condition with years of rust and patina in all the right places. I...

I was recently talking to a gentleman who claimed to have a “Whizzer” motorbike in his barn. Following up on the lead, this is what I discovered. He claims it is built on a Schwinn Patriot frame, 40’s vintage, is a model “H”, and does start. I am mildly interested and looking for thoughts from...

Up for your consideration is this beautiful pair of TOC Coaster Pegs. The set is in great vintage condition with no issues and little if any wear. $125.00 Shipped via Priority Mail in CONUS. PayPal, F&F only. Pete in Fitchburg

There are a lot of things that are a little special about this Iver. 1902 was the first year for the truss frame, it’s a very early truss frame with serial #101783, it has a fairly rare (for an Iver) D & J Hanger, and it’s the Model 80 racer! All parts on this bike came with it except for the...

Hello Cabers ! In my previous life before bicycle collecting, I taught Science for over 35 Years. I had boxes of these "RARE ANTIQUE VINTAGE BICYCLE CLAMPS" in my classroom that I used quite often when I did various lab activities with my students. If I only knew they were really vintage...

Would anyone have additional information on Mickey Flynn's "World Tour" on his Iver Johnson bicycle? (note IJ pennant hanging from rear fender) Pete in Fitchburg

I have a chance to purchase this old Iver that has been sitting in a cellar for most of its life. The bike has a lot of issues, very rusty frame, old weld on fork, no seat, no brake assembly, no pedals, etc. Although I’m really into the Ivers in general, I’m just not sure about these old hard...

Hi Cabers, Does anyone have any recommendations on who could make a high quality, 2 sided, distressed looking metal sign, similar in looks to the pic attached? I’d like to have one custom made and mount it in the space below the arch on one of my Iver Johnson bikes. Any leads would be...

Up for your consideration is a set of BSA track hubs. They will clean up nicely, but I haven’t touched them. Also included are two 28” Lobdell wood, 36 hole racing wheels. One wheel measures 1” wide and one appears to be slightly wider at about 1 1/8”. Both wheels are nice and strait with no...

NOT MY BIKE! I was recently contacted by a gentleman who inherited this tandem bicycle from his grandfather's estate and wanted to know exactly what he had. When I told him it was an 1896, Model 31, Men’s Tandem he was quite surprised by its age. Unfortunately, many of the significant parts have...

When my wife’s parents moved on, she cleaned out their home and basically placed all the family photos in a box which then sat untouched in our home for years. Now that we are going through the process of thinning things out ourselves, she finally took the time to go through the pics. You can...

I got an interesting contact recently asking for info about an Iver Johnson scooter. Not 100% sure it will be for sale but it is a possibility. It's a little rough around the edges but other than the replaced handlebars appears to be all there. I wonder if the handlebars are the same one's...

Recently listed on ebay is this Iver Johnson Model 90B, Special Racer. The add says early 1900's but the badge tells me its 1921 or newer. Nice complete looking bike needing some restoration, mainly to the plated parts. Very tempting.......... Pete in Fitchburg Go Here...

Up for grabs is this 14" Iver Johnson wheelset from an Iver Johnson Sidewalk bike. This wheelset came off the sidewalk bike in the link. The front wheel has what appears to be an Iver Johnson hub and all spokes are intact. The rear wheel has a New Departure coaster brake with some missing...

Here is one Iver you don't see that often. 1901 was the first year the new "Shield" style badge was used and the bike is kind of a transitional year as it has some features of the late 1800's Ivers, yet begins to introduce some of the more modern elements. One item of particular interest to me...

After being housebound for over a week because of the Covid-19 situation and completely bored out of my mind, I decided to walk through my barn and check out some of my Iver project bikes that never seem to get any attention. After eyeing several, this rough, but mostly there, model 90 Road...

This image of Harry Elkes on what appears to be a 1902 Iver Johnson Racing Bike, has always intrigued me. I’ve never really seen an early IJ Racer with any script on the down tube, yet this one clearly is labeled with the script “Iver Johnson Racer”. I do wonder if this script was something...

Hi Cabers, I have a wood TOC wheelset with a stamp or logo on the wheel that I've never seen before. I can read "Wood, Rims , 1 1/2", and Ohio" but the other writing is hidden by the black paint stripping on the wheels........................Does anyone recognize the manufacturer? Pete in...

Hello Cabers, I'm considering purchasing a "Glass Bead" blasting setup to clean/polish some of my bike parts that have varying degrees of rust. I'm thinking of parts like pedal arms, chainrings, handlebars, etc. Are there any members out there that commonly use this kind of media on their...

A friend of mine recently found this rough looking Iver Johnson Sidewalk bike at a local yardsale, and knowing I collect Ivers, he picked it up for me. It is, however, an interesting little thing with the “Lovell” style chainring, looks like the remains of a TOC seat, and even a coaster brake...

Hello Cabers, Looking for a nice, TOC matching painted wood wheel set with barrel hubs as used and seen on early, Ivers. Would love to get a set similar to the pics I've posted of wheels I already have. Will also consider other matching TOC painted wood wheel sets. Thanks, Pete in Fitchburg

Looking for what I believe is called a "Pal" Buddy Seat as shown in the pic below. Will also consider other tube mounted buddy seats as shown in second pic. Please PM me and let me know what you have. Pete in Fitchburg

Just posted on Ebay is a nice example of an early Iver Johnson Truss Frame Bicycle. There are a few components that look a little "odd" to me, but you can't deny it's one great looking bike ! Fork looks slightly bent back and it's a racing style fork ? It will be interesting to...

I recently came across a 1900 Iver Johnson Catalog and would like to add it to the data base kept by Iverider...........I can email bigger files if needed. See 20 images below. Pete in Fitchburg

I recently came across a few Iver Johnson "Hammer" pamphlets that had a few pics of some early bicycle racers that of course, rode the Iver Johnson wheel. Thought you might enjoy them...............Pete in Fitchburg

Old “Exhibition Panel” made by the Iver Johnson Co. and probably used at trade shows etc. Wouldn’t mind coming across this at a local yard sale ! You just have to wonder, where did it end up? Pete in Fitchburg

Gotcha ! Ok, Ok, so it’ not a Ladies and Gentleman pair……………….and I suppose they couldn’t even be called a Men and Woman’s set……………but you have to admit they're a darn cute Boys and Girls duo ! Pete in Fitchburg

I recently came across this pic of an interesting and unusual looking badge on an Iver Johnson bike for sale on eBay. (see link below) It appears to be a decal of some sort. I do remember there was some discussion, years back, on the Cabe of a similar badge on a bicycle owned by Ivrjhnsn. Not...

It’s been some time since I’ve taken a close look at this 1928 Model 90A Iver Johnson “Special Racer”, a step up from the standard Model 90 “Road Racer”. The frame was made with a special Chrome-Molybdenum Steel which was both lighter in weight and stronger than the standard steel frames used on...

Spending a little time making an “Iver Johnson Badges Throughout the Years” poster for our Iver Johnson show this year and thought I’d run some of the pics I’ll be using by other Cabers to check for mistakes, issues, problems, etc. before I finalize it……………….what do you think? Not sure 100% on...

This is a 1907ish Iver Johnson Model 88, 24" Men's "Truss Bridge Flyer" in Iver Johnson black with red spearpoint head. The paint on this bike is preserved beautifully, although most of the nickel is covered with a thin coat of surface rust. I believe this bike is 100% original in every way...

Hi Cabers, I've just purchased an Iver from a family in Roscoe, PA (Washington/Pittsburgh area) and need it shipped to my home in Fitchburg, MA. I've already secured the names of a few bike shops in the area that will help but I'd rather have the bike handled by a Caber who might give it more...

Hello Cabers, Does anyone know who's "stuff" this was at today's Copake swap ? Wanted to get out there so bad this year but conflicting schedules just didn't let it happen.......Pete in Fitchburg

Got a message this morning from a couple (shown in pic) in Dedham, MA who were cleaning out their Dad’s estate. The son told me there were two Iver Johnson bikes in the barn and asked if I had any interest in one or both. Well, I couldn’t get dressed fast enough and hit the road ! When I pulled...

Hi Cabers, Looking for an early Woman's Sager, Wheeler, or Hunt Saddle similar to the attached pic in a nice presentable condition. Used on many TOC cycles. May consider another brands if the looks are similar. Please message me with what you have ! Pete in Fitchburg
