While I'm not the target buyer for this sort of bike I have to say 'YEAH!" to Grant for coming up with a nice name - Appaloosa. I may be in the minority here but names like Homer Hilsen, Bosco, Gomez... do nothing for me. The bikes are GREAT but the names - to me - are a let down. With Appalo

I'm with Robert and Joe on this one - Arrowhead or something along those lines. I think that'd be a very cool name and a refreshing change (in my humble opinion) from the oddball person names Rivendell has been using of late. (Give me "Saluki" any day over "A. Homer Hilsen" - but then I have a ve
