Hate to see a grown man beg. Since you ponied up the 'wampum' for an early copy, my wish for you is that the name it ends up bearing does not tread on one of the forbidden categories. Even if you hate the name, I really really hope you love the bike. -- You received this message because yo

Please guys I'm begging you, stop the madness. Wait until they build a library or a new high school mascot is needed. I'm considering purchasing the naming rights to this bike and calling it something like "Rockin' Bitchin' Bike". Or maybe "Freight Truck". My attorney should be in touch with the Ri

Jeremy Till's quote(partial): " I would say that the best way to do it would be to research the peoples native to Rivendell's stomping grounds; maybe use one of the native names for Mt. Diablo, to pay tribute to the terrain that has shaped Rivendell bikes for years." Just mho, but I think Jerem

OK timeout. Please, no historically accurate, or relevant ir politically correct names. It's not an office building. It's a bicycle. How 'bout Big Wampum, or Forked Tongue. It's about fun, yes? On Monday, January 9, 2012, Scotty wrote: > Abiaka- Seminole Indian medicine man > > > Though his exp

Well, since Calumet originated as an Indian tribe and is the name of a township in NW Indiana, a river, a slew of local businesses, a photography joint in the UK, and a baking powder manufacturer, to name a few, I think they'll be OK. But I'm cooling of it regardless. ;-) Regards, -Allan -- Y

Re: [RBW] Indian bike names

Given the name/trademark lawyerly things that Riv has run into with bike names, Calumet might be a problem. When photography was based on silver halide and chemistry I knew Calumet as a respected business particularly for photo accessory/widgets. Oh I just checked they are still at it (http:

[RBW] Indian bike names

Perhaps this gives away my NW Indiana roots, but I gotta say Calumet would be kinda nice for a bike name. However, those who've never made steel from ore, or known someone that knew someone who did, probably wouldn't getit. So... staying with my I
