I do not believe this would have a snowball's chance in US Court...even in the most friendly venue. I don't know Canadian precedent, case law, etc.
To me, it sounds like non-sense to try and enforce IP over a name used throughout cycling prior to your IP when it's being used on a product that isn't your product, only the same industry. I also do not think a consumer of high end bikes/parts would be confused. I disagree with both of you on principle...however I'm no expert on Canadian approach to IP.
