As for Sam Hilborne, cribbed from Wikipedia: Why the Sam Hill would you name a bike after a **Congressman**???!!!???
Patrick "tongue in cheek when foot not in mouth" Moore Looks like old Sam represented the Bay Area. Walnut Creek was probably cattle country back then. The answer to your question will have to come from Rivendell. OK, now we know who the bikes were named after, and certainly Betty's character is worthy of recognition in the form a bicycle namesake. So, what's Sam's claim to fame? This thread has gotten more interesting as it progresses. dougP -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~--- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
