I live for the CABE
I was recently lucky enough to purchase this Iver Johnson, model 90A, "Special Racer" that had been sitting in a Seekonk, MA cellar for over 50 years. Although a little rough around the edges, I believe the bike is 100% original, right down to the grips, except for the wheelset. On the positive side I have the correct wheelset for this bike in my barn. The only thing I've done to this bike so far is spray it down with degreaser several times as it was barely visable under all the gunk. I have several other Iver Racers, but this is my first 90A !

Bike Has 26" wheels
Serial #485897 puts the bike about 1928, double gold hairline pinstriping is in decent shape in many areas.
Special Racer decal on downtube is in fairly good condition
Chainring is the detachable type, only on the 90A Iver Racers, 24 tooth
Schwinn drumbrake looks quite odd on an Iver racer
Looks like the original handbrake
Seat is the correct and original Brooks B15 Champion Standard
Rear hub is the correct Iver Johnson "BK" stamped track hub but on the wrong wheel
Rear of Schwinn drumbrake
Saved the best for last.....a beautiful gold Iver badge with great patina on a nickel plated headtube. Below the headtube is the correct narrow nickel plated racing fork.
