Hi Grant and All

I vote no on Libertas. Has no "ring" for me. Naming a bike after a marginal defunct bike line is like Honda or Toyota coming out with an "Edsel".

My vote? Mt. Diablo. Signficant to the company, cuz Grant is always referring to riding up Mt. Diablo, nice ring to it, not associated with prior bikes (maybe a mtb, dunnoh about that). Rivendell Mt. Diablo. lugged, triple ringed, bar con equipped 1300 buck bike. I like it. Mark "who rode his Rivendell thru Elf"in" Forest the day after seeing Lord of the Rings, Rosenberg San Diego, CA
