Well, I have a number of opinions on the subject, but since you asked I'll say only this:
Libertas is a great name, but it's already been used for bikes that didn't have a great reputation for quality.
On the other hand, that won't mean a thing to contemporary buyers.
That said, I think Grant is a creative guy, and should be able to come up with something fresher and more proprietary to Rivendell, but you know you only used to get juiced in it.
But I don't really give a hoot.
