I had an old Iverson Charger stingray bike when I was a kid.

It looked great, but I remember it being seriously heavy and I found it tough to keep up with my friends on their lighter Raleigh Choppers and Schwinn Crates and I had a real tough time doing a respectable wheely! Yeah, I was envious! I also remember the bearings making some noise, but I wasn't into maintenance when I was a kid, so who knows if it was really the bike or just lack of maintenance. Real solid bike though. Once you got it up to speed, it was a freight train!

I think they were built in England. Is that right?

Sorry, but that's all I can add on Iverson bikes, and to be honest, I didn't even know they made road bikes. Thanks for the memories though!
