I've done this with some old campy wheels after buying from a garage
sale in San Francisco. Rich from Rivendell does this with his orders
on his big dummy. I'm pretty sure theres a picture of that floating
around the internet somewhere.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'd missed it. I doubt he'd use the
name "Hiawatha" itself out of consideration for Jim Thill, but it
sounds like he may be playing with the idea of using one out of the
Longfellow work. It would certainly go along with the use of
"Rivendell" and various product name

I went to college in a town called Amherst- as awful a name, due to its
history, as any word or name that has been appropriated from Native
American language.But it's just a name, and better that it be used and
not forgotten by the general public than otherwise.
