Thanks guys! Looks like there is more stuff wrong. First the chainring is a 24 tooth and I believe it should be 26. Second the crank arm on the drive side is 6.5 inches and the non drive side is 7 inches. Looks like someone has been changing stuff around. I think I found my paint scheme though. My fork is even plated.

Another interesting thing about the bike is that the head tube angle is stamped in the head tube. 113deg.

I'll try, it's kinda small.

Got it! It is stamped upside down and gets covered by the headbadge. I also confirmed that the headtube is at 113deg.

I know what you mean !

Be nice to have new parts available for antique humans...

Under the head badge! Yes, I'm not old after all. Now if I could only remember where I put the screwdriver to remove the badge....?

Here's my badge...

I'll take your word about the stamping under the badge....

I was lucky that my IJ was complete with original parts.

Even down to the Torrington stamped pedals.

also..the handlebar,stem,seatpost are stamped ..."Iver Johnson"

This is kinda rare for a bike being almost a century old & still have all the
original parts.
