From Roy Jinks Collection

I got this yesterday while helping Roy Jinks move from his home to his Condo.

I remember seeing those at the SHOT show many years ago

Another of those things that we wish we had bought when they were easily available

I recall when those were being advertised. I don't think they were on the market very long.

Another exercise device to park clothes hangers on.

Wrong, I'm already riding it! Just had to inflate the tires.

Are you going to ride it to Tulsa next June?
Sorry Don, I couldn't resist.

If I start now, I might get there! I won't be able to haul the stuff from Roy's stash.

Now we have to discuss the appropriate bicycle revolver and carry holster.

Wouldn't that be a 2" 38 Safety Hammerless with an inside the pocket holster?

Did it come with a signed letter ? ��

Yep, right next to the bow flex

They weren't for personal exercise or clothes racks, although some were bought and used for that purpose. They were advertised in "Police Chief" & other LE magazines for alternative patrol. They were a little too early as bike patrol didn't catch on until a bit later, at least in my part of the country.

Saw em advertised in police rags and perhaps the Galls catalog. Don’t know of any department that fell for it. Advertising gimmick. Cool, but cheap bikes with cheap components. Kinda like Harley Davidson Beer, it’s more of a man-cave collectible.

Now now, let's not do what's being going on with Colt firearm factory letters recently...….

I am the Assistant Historian, Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation. I don't make up letters, I only put down what the records say.

Did he finally retire?

 

[glenwolde]

You need some blue and white Spandex....

The fact that it was owned by Mr . Jinks is cool factor enough for most on this forum anyway. Ride with pride. Thanks for posting .
