Difficult bike names to pronounce

[Soup890]

1) Hoy Sa Calobra
2) Eddy Merckx
3) Cannondale CAAD8
4) Bianchi Via Nirone

My jaw is aching trying to say the names of these bikes.

Has anyone else came across funny or strange bike names?

Please list below.

It must have been a slow day for the OP to post this ……………..

Having said this I can say Shimano easily, but I can't say Campagnolo. I get as far as Cam ……. but then I can't say any more, I am stuck. As for SRAM don't even go there .

For some reason Moulton always made me laugh.......and Brompton.

Full name of the Bianchi is the Via Nirone 7. Now whether, as an Englishman, I should pronounce that "sette" or "seven" I couldn't tell you. The rest of the writing on the bike (and Bianchi do seem to love writing on their bikes) is in English, as are the C2C and B4P abbreviations...
