It's amazing to me how a "label", influences how I feel about a given product. I personally prefer no labels on a bicycle if given a choice. When I had my Bombadil repainted, I had it done without labels. I know the origin of the frame, the frame knows the origin of the frame, and Rivendell knows the origin of the frame.
I remember being enamored with stickers as a child. Getting some STP stickers from the Service Station (back when gas stations were owned and run by the same one or two people and actually offered "real car service") was a grand thing ! Getting the "big brand" named stickers and products was THE thing, to be associated them. It's all psychological of course, and it's alright. I call it today "permission slips" .... anything that allows you to feel better about yourself within the realms of your belief system, is a permission slip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
