i found this great bike this weekend and would like to know more about it. has original paint and pin stripping. also a cool brass odometer on front tire with 425 miles! crazy. new to old bikes like this but really liked how it looked. has a frame no. stamped 92498. thanks for any help

thanks Kleber. any idea what year? it has metal wheels but think they are later?

Unfortunately, I don't know what year it could be, but soon someone here will answer that.

Hi glasscuter,

Great looking late Iver in fantastic condition. Looks like you've found a model 95D Mens Airlite....................I'd guess the model year would be 1940/41ish. The wheelset may be original as Iver did offer a metal set during those years. Interesting that it has the 1/2" pitch chainring. Pete in Fitchburg

great to be on here, thanks for the info and comments everyone. im very happy to find it. learning a lot looking through the forum. noticed the British brakes, guess they are aftermarket. anybody have any info on the odometer? i think thats very cool. was that original?
