Ladies Iver Johnson




 I sold my Iver Johnson today.  It was purchased by a bicycle artist from Colorado who has something to do with New Belgium Brewing Co. (Fat Tire Ale)  Iver Johnson was an arms, motorcycle and bicycle manufacturer in Fitchburg, MA.  A good ol' USA bicycle plant !  This bike is so cool.  Skirt guard(still intact), chain-link treads, Mesenger No.1 saddle, stainless fenders, golden ring bell, wise-lock, Iver truss frame.  There is a men's version in the National Bicycle Museum in Sparta, WI that matches this one.  I purchased it about 15 years ago in Mercer, WI.  They said it was from a wealthy family around Milwaukee.  Iver Johnson made quality arms.  An Iver Johnson pistol shot William McKinley and Robert Kennedy.  Maybe we'll see it someday in a Fat Tire Advertisement?  I'll miss her.  But I'll always have the photos and the memories.  Sad day . . . money isn't everything - but I need it for the military bike !!!!!

I that one spring or two on the seat?
Two springs - one that compresses and one that tries to be pulled apart - Classic !
