>>That's why I still think marketing is everything, and because they are

they need to loose the 're***bent' and negative short form of 'bent.
If a name didn't mean much then Marion Morrison would never of [have]
bothered to change his name.
If a name didn't mean much then the automakers wouldn't bother
spending millions to get just the right one.
Imagine if a Toyota Corolla was a Toyota Snail. Who wants to drive a
snail? Or an Echo for that matter.
>>The obvious advantage of the bicycle referred to now as the 'bent, is
it's superior aerodynamics to the diamond frame design.
A better name for the design would be along the lines of Aerodynamics.
I notice you call other bicycle designs 'uprights'.
Some descriptive words to consider combinations of:
Fast, streak, quick, rapid, swift, speedy, race, or: lightning,
rocket, missile, rush, surge,
bullet, arrow, zip, zoom,
Re***bents overall are not fast. They are slow. They are especially slow
going uphill. But they are comfortable. That is why they are called
re***bents. It is not possible to improve upon perfection. They are
perfectly named as is. I suggest you leave well enough alone.
Peter Clinch of Dundee, Scotland is a jerk who does not know his ass from
a
hole in the ground. His signature tells you all you will ever have to know
about him.
