Pope was one of the oldest and largest bicycle makers in America.Pope is Columbia bicycle. Indian didn't build a bicycle---they contracted for the frames they put their name on.Consolidated Of Ohio(Miami brand) built the frames for the Flying Merkel and some early Indians,the rarest Indian bike was a german import and the last were Phillips re-badged bikes.Harley bicycles(1918-1922) were re-badges Daytons(huffman).But in 1922 or23 Huffmann stopped building bicycles,and consentrated on servise station supplys--like the reusable qt. oil bottles with spoute. Consolidated morped into musselman,who also built airplain brakes.Now that's a scary though if you ever used a musselman coaster brake on a bicycle.Somehow Musselman became part of murray of ohio. sam lingo,pleasanton tx Arthur Link <artlink@flash.net> wrote:In the USA Indian built bikes before they built motorcycles.Pope build high end bikes before they built high end cars.
