I've often thought that was a good nickname for it, too... Re-reading what I wrote, I don't mean to imply that I'm so lazy when I speak that I *have* to abbreviate (I suppose, given how I droll on when I type, you can all imagine that I can use a paragraph or three to say what a two-word sentence could...). Regardless, I usually refer to my bike as my Ram, sometimes as my Riv. Grant, I see what you're getting towards: a lot of companies start w/ one specific item, then grow to where they have several other associated items to their original purpose. But then, after becoming 'the' company to be, start sticking their label on other items, further from their original core... I can understand keeping the clothes, the bags, etc., under separate brands, but personally, I wouldn't worry about bike frames... that's your core product, I would tend to think that it's 'better' for Rivendell to have the Atlantis and the Hilsen and the others all under the Rivendell frame umbrella, in addition to the customs, IMO, FWIW.... but, of course, it's *your* company, *you* get to decide how you want it.... and, seems to be pretty right, IMO... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
