[RBW] Re: Sackville (Baggins) Reference
I teach courses on Tolkien's sources and fictions, and these Riv references add new dimension to LOTR for me. I don't know enough about RBW and its Esteemed Founder to suss the resonances that inspired the company name and those of some products, but of course a general sense of elvishness is clear: elves make things that are beautiful and useful. As Wlliam Morris said, Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. And that may be said of certain bicycles, indeed.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sackville (Baggins) Reference
While it's true that the Rivendell name came from Rivendell Mountain Works, and not necessarily from Tolkein's Rivendell, the references can't be denied in the RBW products. Bombadil, Sackville, Baggins bags, Legolas. Grant and company play on the references, which I think is cool.

So true Matt, thank our lucky stars. Though if it was named after AS, the tenor of this group would be entirely different in a race centric way. Man I just gave my self the chills.
