Sold 1915 Iver Johnson Truss Frame f/s

[57pack]

Hello, I have a circa 1915 , 28” Iver Johnson Truss Frame bicycle for sale.
I bought it as a abandoned project. Fellow I purchased it from said it didn’t have wheels, pedals, handlebars, basically just a frame. He installed a set of Schwinn handlebars and crank sprocket, a set of newer 28” wheels and tires with a Shimano Nexus 3 speed controls not installed but included. He gave me a set of Iver Johnson fenders, chainguard, skiptooth sprocket, skirt guard stings with hooks, and a period correct saddle. ( has a Brooks on now)
Frame had been bead blasted and powder coated black. He did a lot of work but gave up. I put fenders and wheels on. Asking $600. For it. Local pick up or can drop at our bicycle shop who ship via BikeFlight. Buyer pays the freight to them.

I found the front hub that was attached to the fork when I got the bike. See photo. Just a few broken spokes were attached.

Thanks to Brian for the correct year of my bike. It’s based on a 1915 frame. The Truss frame reinforcement and serial number clinch it.

Can a one piece crank be used on it?

Gee, that I don’t know the answer to that question.
Maybe if you ask that question on the forum, the Iver Johnson gurus may have a answer for you.
