1911 Iver on the road

Wore out three sets of tires already!
*****warning for those who like rusty bikes look away and bypass this post*****

In November 2016 I purchased this 1911 Iver Johnson. Today with some snow still on the ground I took it for it’s madien voyage. I know there will folks that find it offensive to have restored this bike and to you I say I am sorry. That said there was no orginal paint on the machine except were the badge once was. To those who appreciate the after pictures thank you. This was my first ever bike project and I could have not done it without you fellow capers. So many people have helped with parts pictures and information. So many I can’t even recall but to you I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all rock stars

I probably wouldn't have restored it, I'm in the same position with a 1911 National project.
You've done a fantastic job though, anyone would love riding that!
 
Absolutely love it Ed ! That Iver looks fantastic ! Great job making this your own bike........................would love to see a close up pic of the paint treatment on the wheels, they look very, very nice. Pete in Fitchburg
 
That looks incredible! Being from New England and losing three much loved cars to rust and tendency of others to rust that I'd otherwise like to have giving me pause, I find absolutely nothing appealing in it.
 
Breathtaking restoration. Who did your nickel plating?
