Got my Iver Johnson rolling

I would TIG weld it. Not much heat compared to oxy or MIG. Then touch up paint.

Nice.
this is one of my favorite bikes to look at.
how does it ride?

Mine rides great.

What would be the best way to fix such a cracked fork end (or worser); to lop off both, and fit and braze on replacement forks’ ends?
Or just find a replacement IJ fork?

I’m a road bike guy so the short frame and long fork takes some getting use to. But it’s really smooth!

Mine rides great.

That is seriously cool. Love the red tires. What kind of seat is that? I found that Brooks seats required a large seat post.
What's your plan for the other frame?

Thanks. Seat i believe is either an old Brooks or Persons, but missing the tag.

The other frame i'm slowly collecting the other parts and probably one day build it up. Now have 2 of the 3 styles of the bridge connection. The tube connection will be the hardest to find.

I just TIG welded the exact same failure on both sides of a fork and the results looked very adequate-

just swap out the clamp on the saddle, less than 15 minutes and you are riding high.
