I'm surprised the Surly folks didn't get a call about their Pugsley model. And who doesn't like Gomez? The Addams Family names were in use by Ibis in the 90's. I'm thoroughly enjoying the Cousin It tandem these days with my 9-year-old. Didn't they have Fester model in the works? I forget.
If the Tolkein naming thing has hit a dead end (what a bummer) I'm OK with the current trend (A. Homer, Sam, Betty, Yves... Omar?). Sometimes I wonder if people that haven't heard of Riv imagine that A.Homer.Hilsen is from some obscure hand builder from North Dakota... Bombadil is a perfect name for that bike - and I think that the Movie lawyer is grasping if he contends that they have rights to the name of a character that did not appear in their flicks. Good luck on this one, guys. -br On Feb 12, 2:56 pm, "Doug Peterson" <dougpn...@cox.net> wrote: > Are the Cascades taken? Nice string of volcanic peaks, should cover a full > line of bikes.
