1927ish Iver Johnson 90b track racer

[corbettclassics]

I always liked this set of pics where Major Taylor is getting ready to race Jacqualin 1901.

- Taylor shakes hands but doesn't even look at his opponent.

- Then his handler has the most beautiful position ready for takeoff..!!!!

........ And it was on his Iver Johnson ( and yes he won! ) : ( I have a pic of him holding the trophy too! )

corbettclassics ... I added opinionated information to your foto ...
I can remove said foto at your command.

locomotion ... You are waaay too visual (as your typing indicates
in this thread) ... and I find it refreshing. This leaned-on foto that
corbettclassics originally posted may be helpful. And, maybe not.

This old pirate taught visual art in public school for thirty and six years.

The top pic is really cool. You can almost sense his determination focused on only one thing, the finish line! If this is a 1901 pic then that Iver is likely a model 79 like above post #51. I believe I pulled that from the 1901 catalog. Great bike, and exiting time that must have been. Thanks for the pics, and looking forward to seeing more. Anthony

I would love to know how to add writing and drawings on a picture, no clue how to do it. It makes for a clear way to note observations. Is it a special computer program?

Glad you appreciate something that matters in the Age of
Space Exploration. Or some other High-Fah-lootin' Age !!

The tool I use is named, Paint.net ..... or Paint.Net ..... or
..... paint.net.

Started learning it's use in, maybe 2011. Still learning ...

Am finalizing an entry in my personal blog (right here on
The CABE ) about that free app ... in the moment .........

However, my wife has asked me to do some favors for her ....
( I never .. ever put off doing a favor for my beautiful bride ) ...
and I will post my blog in the New Posts very soon, today.

I really do appreciate your interest. After seeing younger
generations .. and even some not so younger generations
futz with them damned cell-fones ... with all that texting
and ''selfie'' shi# ... must say that I am more than pleased
you two Semi-Noob Earth-Dwellers want to learn something
that will bring you real satisfaction .... that is, once you get
the hang of it.

I'm still. workin' to get the hang of it.

And Now .. Back To Those Early, Iver Johnson Racers ..............

Major Taylor getting ready to race Ellegard.

Bike looks good here with black head tube and black rims.

Anyone built an exact replica of this bike????

Looks like my Special Racer—it's a black truss frame and the original wheels are black.
