Iverider
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I have a big Johnson (tall headtube frame) and I'd like to compare mine with yours...what can I say...unfortunately, it's a bit rusty so I've been looking for paint schemes. It was originally black with green head tube, but since it'll be a complete redo, I'm contemplating a color change. I've come across many of the photos already online in the usual places that come up when searched, but I know there has to be more out there. I'm also particularly interested in the accessories and components (Pedals, handlebars, grips, etc.) that are stock bits and pieces to these bicycles.
Original Detail is the key to this thread!
Mine has been judged (by folks of The Cabe) to be a 1915 or later Truss Bridge frame. When posting, please include, at the least, your serial number and any information that you know to be true. If it is hear-say (maybe from the person you bought it from) please denote it as such.
If you have catalog scans, that could be a nice addition to this thread as well. From what I've read so far, Iver Johnson was a very popular bicycle back in the day and supposedly known for its quality. I just wish there was more information in ONE PLACE!
To begin my Iver Johnson
Truss Bar Frame
Serial # 256466
Color: Black with green head tube and Iver Johnson Logo on Downtube
Rear Hub: Morrow Coaster
Front Hub: Iver Johnson
Wheels: Wood 25"
Stem: Iver Johnson
Seat: Troxel Eagle Climax
Cranks: Iver Johnson
Chain Ring: Diamond Square Geometric pattern
Unsure about: rear fender (flat), Front Fender (not so flat, but not deep either), Front fork is non-original, handlebars, Chain too rusty to tell, Grips not included.
I'll amend this post with some detail shots of parts when I get them.
