Iver Johnson Dealer order form

Okay Iver buddies,, here's what a 1928 Iver Johnson order form looks like when the dealer placed an order for your new bicycle. To the best of my knowledge, no other bicycle manufacturer allowed this much customizing...correct me if I'm not right.

Iver Johnson Order Form

WOW !! That is so incredible Scott, great piece of history. It kind of drives me crazy to think it was as easy as filling out this form and you could order any bike in the Iver Johnson line equipped just the way you wanted it. OH if one could only do that today ! I can only imagine the massive inventory of parts they must have had to be able to fill orders that were somewhat customized. Pete in Fitchburg

i think this bike deserves a badge, wish i had one. put the bike together still needs some hours on it. what do you think to much with the horn, light, pouch. i like the flashlight on it, dug out a seat that i think looks good on it

Looks good. What size are those wheels/tires? 27" x 1 1/2" ?? Badges are out there, patience is definitely needed to get one though.

Anyone have one of these Iver Johnson Truss Bikes ?

Can't imagine why we don't see more of these flying through town...LOL .. No riding in a group.
