Jim is right. If I recall correctly from some interview he gave, although
the LOTR connection was appreciated by Grant, the attitude and philosophy
of RMW was what he really was modeling. He wanted to run a company like
RMW, but with bikes. But as later product names attest, perhaps the Tolkien
became more of an influence. I think it's fairly clear that the way RBW is
managed differs from the norm in a positive way, which is another reason
I'm happy to support RBW.
Just curious, does anyone know if RMW had products with LOTR names or is
that more a RBW thing?
