Evolution of the High Rise Bicycle 1969
1969 was the peak of weirdness
for High Rise Muscle Bikes.
Anything goes, and there were
steering wheels, drum brakes,
big shifters, crazy seats and
taller sissy bars!
If you like bikes with a "Different" look
then you might be an Iverson Man!
George Barris designed many bikes for
Iverson, and came up with some wild
rides in his day!

In 1969 the JC Penny Swinger hit the streets on the Murray Mark II frame style. This new frame had the unique
"Hump Back" design, and new Bill board Chain Guard. (*See Murray Eliminator Mark II)
In 1969 Murray hit the nail on the head with a new
frame design called the Mark II Eliminator. This
new frame was designed by famous Artist *Viktor
Shreckengost. Forward looking disign with a Drag
Car feel! The bike was all new and America had
seen nothing like it!

In 1969 Sears added 3 Hot
new bikes to the line up. Built
by Murray and badged Sears
but 100% American Classic.

1969 Huffy The Wheel
is one of the collest
things huffy came up
with. They took a
wheel from their
Garden Tractor and
re-molded it into a
sparkling Muscle
Monster! These bikes
came on the Huffy Rail
long frame and allow
extra leg room!
