Vintage photo of bicycle in front of Colt Armory

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

I work at Colt Manufacturing, and I like this photo in the lobby. I imagine the bicycle is a Pope, as the two factories were near each other.

The photo is prob popular on the internet.

We are no longer located in the still-standing historic building in this photo in Hartford, CT. We are located in West Hartford now, in a factory only dating to WWII.

Might it be a Columbia?

Columbia Model 40 with mounted Colt machine gun.

I'd like a 7.62 Minigun mounted to my handlebars, hauling the batteries and 30 seconds of ammo in a BOB trailer.

Just under two and a half pounds per 100 that wouldn't be too bad of a haul. If you had that thing set up on the slow cycle that would only be a thousand rounds versus 3,000 cranked up

It's the 80 plus pounds mounted on your bars you'd have to fight with
