How many of you have named your bike?

[fasteryet]

I rarely use the word awesome, but I can't think of any other word to describe your new bike, s-dog. I wish you many years and many miles of joy.

How 'bout that Cipo zebra-white-aero-body suit...Nice ride Spazz,
enjoy Epesi in good health!!

karen


ps-where in Massachusetts are you?? After my kids go back to school we can hook up for a ride. I will bring Lizzy to meet Epesi

[spazzdog]

I figure that jersey would make people seasick... all those stripes fading in and out like one of those psychedelic mood wheels.

I do, however, have faux cow print seatcovers in my JEEP

But Epesi, she do ride quite nice. Like going from a nice reliable sedan (my old Trek1000) to a Porsch Boxter... yee-hah!!

Adventure Girl: "Dita... You kill me!! If you get a picture of George riding your bike, I can help you post it!"

Oh Yeah, George and those long legs of his on a 47 cm. Would look like a circus act. Will he be in SF? Maybe we can get him to pose there ;-)

sweeeeeet! Is that a double? is she ultegra? and...is that little dog in the corner the one who chases down tires? didn't think so ;-)

[spazzdog]

It's all Ultegra all the way! It's a double.

She's wearing a Koobi Splitfit saddle and Speedplay X2 pedals and accessorized with a XLab Saddle Wing bottle cage system.

How do you like the doggie kong as a wheel block.

And yes it's a little dog... Willie, the 11 yr old blind but feisty Tshi Tzu ( I can't spell it right... I usually go phonetics but I was worried about the censor). He'd probably chase 'em if he could see 'em.

> maybe your other dog could herd him into them? Just kidding, really! Just thinking the TE Zebra stripe jerseys/shorts combo would look awesome with this bike..g'night

Veronica,

No, not William of Orange, nor William the Conquerer, either. That's English history. Perfect for Walter (he's a Raleigh, doncha know), but not right for an American-designed bike.

I actually had William Bent of Bent's Fort in Colorado fame in mind. Bent's Fort was THE stopping/resupply/trade place for most of the mountain men, explorers, settlers, and wanderers in the late 1800's. William was the more obscure of the two brothers (Charles & William) that ran that sucessful business enterprise. If you ever are near La Junta, CO, check it out. The fort is in great shape, and roads nearby are pretty good for cycling.

Oh dear, a history lesson. I did warn you that William's namesake is a tad obscure.

It's always good to learn something new.

Sweet ride! I love the zebra-ness. I'll have to try the kong thing, but Riley's might be a tad too big.

can't you just see that bike with this jersey?

Or is that overdoing the "zebra-ness"?

[spazzdog]

Trek420 dahling... that's a tiger jersey.

A tiger riding the back of a zebra would look like the beginnings of a National Geographic killing scene. I can hear the announcer now:

"watch this now jack... the tiger has made her leap on to the back of this zebra, caught off the back of the herd. It's hard to watch, but that zebra's DINNER!!"

[Roadrunner]

I've been trying to think of names for my bikes but I don't find it easy. I was thinking of Jeeves for my new road bike. Why? because it's a Claude Butler. (open to suggestions)

I haven't got one for my Mtb it's a black Carrera Kraken SE.
I love it. Wish I could find a picture of it somewhere so you could see it.
