I come home today and find this fine piece of work in my driveway. Way crazier than a Quad for sure and from what I was told this caddy is a early 70's Enjoy!!!

What do the Decals say?

Montgomery Words or Sears Utility Bike maybe JC Penny. Early 70's or before

Must be an early freestyler!

It has all the original decals and the only thing they say are Iverson

it's a George Barris custom Iverson musclebike. late '60s..

Utility farm bike!

Seen some of those around Movie Studios

you could make an R&R or a jack weingert style out of it:
by chopping the top triangle off
jack w frame

Tim you are a plethera of info thanks bro I wonder how many of these were made??? Way to early for me if someone is interested let me know. SR

Props to Tim.

I`ll take it off your hands. It`s not because it`s a bike, it`s because I`m into the old cars and Barris is my hero. He builds some wild cars.

thanks tim! cool bike!

Notice the mags in the above add? they may look like Webco mags but they are not. they predate Webco mags by many years. I forgot what they were called though. Tim help me out. It's my personal opinion is that Webco got their hands on the same molds to make they're wheels.

Iverson always made some wild and kooky stuff! as witnessed by this trippy Iverson monoshock that was being ridden around last year at Elysian park.



once again notice the kooky wheels.

Tim pulls some amazing information out of the wood work....

Sod...I thought I had seen it all....I'd love to go for a spin on those wheels....Like riding on tires with 7 pounds of air??

Here they are! Those wheels were made by Iverson. (circa 1969) I should have put two and two together! DUH!





= Too cool!

Good luck finding all the original parts for it....

...on the other hand, Tim probably already has them all!?!?.....lol

It's a wonder there WEREN'T freestyle bikes that were inspired by that design. That's a standing platform you can't miss!

Wow, talk about vintage, thats cool. I would really like to see that bike built up.

this thread is freaking me out, man!

I looked at those ads and I looked at my Webco mags, and I would bet $$ they are the same. The Webco folks probably bought the patterns after the Iverson activities declined.

Take a look. They sure look like the real deal to me.

JPK

It looks like a cycleball bike from Czech. Used to be an Olympic exibition sport in, i think 68. Could be wrong but it looks like it to me.

I think that frame is a trip and a true tribute to the spirit of the 60s, awesome that you scored it!!!

I love the ads too...far out man!!

Wow thats pretty wild, I wonder how rare they are nowadays.

All I know is that Berris sure was a fan of the snowflake chainwheel!

Fellas I contacted a Barris collector today and he said that he has never seen a Orange one in this style, He said its a very rare one I think I may just do a restore if I cannot get a decent trade to cashola out of it .

ALright fellas it is for sale looking for $600 obo . I already turned down $500 so no lowballing

The frame must be cut to make a Barris replica so right now it`s juat a regular frame. Good luck with the sale.

nope, nope, NOPE! it's an original Barris frame as it sits. He made a bunch of different styles and designs. Not all of them are pictured in ads.

that frame will be a bear to build unless you have a source for all the other parts. the seats, sissy bars and other parts are Barris custom, and just as rare as the frame. the wheels are tough to find. Iversons in general aren't around much anyway because they aren't near as collectible as Sting-Rays. (Iversons were "department store junk"). but the Barris bikes - now THOSE are collectible.
