I want to name my bike.

[gb155]

A fellow blogger has named his new, special carbon bike, the Unfat Machine, i'd like to give my new, special bike , a quirky name along the same lines too, then get a sticker or 2 made up.

Suggestions ?

Jose. After Mourinho - the 'special' one.

SLEIPNIR: Old Norse name meaning "gliding; smooth." In mythology, this was the name of Odin's grey, eight-legged steed, the greatest of all horses which could traverse either land or sea.

KIWIDINOK: Native American Cheyenne name meaning "of the wind."

Excaliber....and then whenever you meet someone youcan say...'Behold Excaliber'

Then again maybe not!

 

[Spinney]

The Lean Machine...!

hows about Auntie Avarice?

 

[Fnaar]

Reginald

In true dr doofenshmirtz style the "Fat reducinator"

I've called one my bikes "Giant", and the other "Carrera"

N+1.... or whatever number is applicable in your case.

Like Fnaar above, I don't name my bikes. They get names like 'Bedford bike' for my wife's purposes because if I said 'the Aravis' she'd be none the wiser.

Names have to mean something for you. Not sure anyone else can suggest one that does that, except by chance. So how about Pino? The shortened form of Giuseppe and applicable to a Pinarello too methinks.

Bob.

Bob the bike sounds good.

Mine's called Jalopy (even though its not), and the N+excuse for a bike is called 'I hate this bike'....

Offtopic here so sorry but GB155, I've just read your blog in your sig, absolutely amazing.

How about getting some of the biggest loser emblems made up for it?

I spent a lot of time designing a logo I could use for my last build project, then not applying it to the bike anyway after deciding I just wanted to keep it as "stealthy" as possible. I think I'll use it on any future builds though, it's a variation of my name.



They'll all be named after figures/things from Norse mythology, as I have tattoos of the same theme so it kinda fits in with me
