Easy. Sam Hillborne was a pioneer in making bicycles out of synthetic
non-metals, and in designing frames with extremely tight tire

Given that nobody really knew on this list where the name came from, I
took the suggestion above and emailed Grant. He got right back to

He wanted it to be a name that seemed like a non-nonsense kind of guy,
and that he likes
NAME names are fine.
Exotic dog names are better. :-P

There was a Sam Hill known as the Father of good roads in the 1920s.
He championed the Pacific Highway. Could be a play on him.
