Iver Johnson tank bike

[frank562]

I got this IJ bike that I think it may have the original paint on it, but I'm not sure does anyone have literature on this brand of bikes I would like to make sure on the paint before I restore it.

Hi Frank562,
Nice looking Iver..................looks like it was repainted years ago. Lots of potential here. Pete in Fitchburg

That tank is totally awesome. If it is a repaint, I love the bomber decal. A lot of the nickel is painted over so......Good luck! post pictures when you are working on it.

found picture on here

Sorry i don't know what cabe member posted this picture, but it looks very very close to your bicycle. It is the only picture of an Iver I have seen with a "cigar" style tank. The front fork looks to be a pretty good match, chainring....same etc. There is a good reference on the darts for the repaint.

Here's a page from the 1927/28 catalog showing Model 87 - I'm sure the Iver experts will correct me, but that might be it.

All you need to acquire, is the original carrier rack.
