I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that the name is more a reference to the famous SF courier company than to the band. Much like Panaracer with their T-Servs.
Thanks... I just bought one at an East Bay bike shop for $24.99. It is gold, but the "gold" around the teeth chipped off real fast after riding a few miles. Other than that, it seems solid and nice. I was just curious as to who made them. The guy who sold it to me at the bike shop didn't know, and the other guys there were too busy for me to bother them by asking. I thought I'd just google the info, but I didn't find anything. SO, I asked you fine folk...
