slightly O/T- barris+bicycles

i mess w/ bicycles inbetween big projects. this weekend i picked up an iverson. i'd never heard of it, so i searched for info on the interweb.
i found this. pretty cool if your a barris or bicycle fan.

if you look thru the other pages there's more cool pix and a long atrticle written by george.

 

Very cool.

 

Custom bikes are cool.Here is one my 6 year old grandson and I have been working on.Red grips, red leather seat, some white pinstripes and were about done.

 

i wonder if Iverson turned into Huffy? I had a huffy with similar styling when I was a kid.

what kind of Iverson you got?

 

i don't know. there's no markings or serial #s on it except for the decal on the head tube.




the frame is similer to a stingray, but the forks are more like motorcycle triple trees.

 

I love the custom bikes, let's see some more.

 

I thought maybe you got an antique one... Iverson was in business for quite a while .. like the turn of the century or so (I think???)

 

everybody gotta love bikes

 

i cant find a picture, but barris built eddie munsters bike right? it was modeled after a stingray, but made completely out of chain... anyone got a picture? its gotta be one of the coolest bikes ive ever seen. some consider it to be the first lowrider bike

I believe FELT bicycles much more recently made a BARRIS Kustom City Cruiser. Red white and blue, kind of like the hover car thing he had....

Felt makes lots of cool tires and parts to hot rod old bicycle frames.

 

Nirve has recently done one up like the Ala Kart, the '60s Batmobile, and just a couple of Barris cruisers.

 

I've looked on their site and I cant seem to find where they sell the tires. You have any links?

 

I don't think you can buy directly from them. Check around with your local bicycle shops. I got my Thick Brick tires here in Phoenix, there are a few shops that can get them here. Should be the same wherever you are.




Ooops, it must've been Nirve I was thinking about in regards to the Barris Bike....

 

I wasn't trying to correct ya Jeem. You maybe right also.

 

have a few from years ago
