Oooh, I like that one for a bike. Did we ever figure out who Sam Hillborn was? [dougpnirv] Don't think so, at least not for sure. There was a 19th century California politician of the same name but slightly different spelling (maybe only a single "l"), and an obscure Civil War character. But no one particularly notable or notorious that would merit having a bicycle named after him. My theory is the Riv crew dreams up these names & giggles while we try to figure it out. Throw out a few EZ ones from LOTR & then hit us with a Sam. Hey, their a lot more interesting and fun than RB-T & MB-1, right? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
