1909-1913 Iver Johnson Men's Tall Frame

[gtdohn]

1909-1913 Iver Johnson men's roadster with a 24" frame. Very nice original paint and it looks like the some of the plated parts might clean up well also. The original painted rims are quite usable and in very good shape. They are fairly straight (can be made perfect with spoke tension), and the paint on them is very good for their age. Saddle is Troxel, has a very nice block chain and something I have never seen is the tires have a gold pinstripe on them. Original hubs front and rear. Comes with a wood rear fender (not shown). Has Torrington 18 pedals which might not be correct for this year, but they spin really well. Badge is amazing.

I just wanted to interject that the nut on the drive side crank appears in catalogs from 1909–1913.
Before 1909 it's shown on the non-drive-side as it is after 1913 as well.

My hypothesis, is it makes gearing changes easier without having to reset the bearing pre-load but that's pure conjecture on my part as it's not described that way in the catalog.

Thank you for that info Iverider. I was told by another member that it was one year only. I will change my description to reflect your facts.
