What do you think this is? Weird Seat on it too. Lotsa pics

[heyslugger]

So I got this a month or so back but just started pulling stuff off and looking at it. Some nice Cat Eye and odd shaped reflectors on it. The seat is like nothing I have run across before. Maybe you can help. No info on the frame either. Come on you Cantaleiver Columbos, go to work! :mrgreen: and thanks.

I saw this the other night and the way the seat pairing is similar. * http://bikerodnkustom5.homestead.com/br ... ory61.html *

Not as bad as it looks. Cleaned up better than I do.

Chainguard and frame looks Iverson :wink:

I think it's an import, most likely German. Not certain. :| Any markings on the rear hub?

I think it is a Stebler.

Check and read these threads.

Definitely a Stebler. http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread ... r-Bicycles

Looks like Stebler made Iverson bikes also. That would explain the chaingaurd.

Well, I have a ladies' Stelber with the same guard, but photobucket just burped and went to 'mobile photobucket', so no good. I think they were linked to Daimler/Puch/Steyr, who made bikes for Sears, and that all ties into the oddball Euro brands of the 60s, Royce Union, President, some later Fleet Wings, etc. -Adam
