Does your bike have a name?

Does your bike (or bikes) have a name? If so, what is it?

My Marin East Peak all mountain, full suspension is named Bob. Bob is sturdy and true, a bit heavy at 32.5 ponds, but man can he take a hit. He does not balk at mud, or snow, or rain, and can handle a gnarly downhill like nobody's business.

Last fall, along came Gidget. Gidget is my new Titus Racer X. She is little and fiesty, lite and fast and nimble. She does not like mud too much, but she climbs like a ibex.

There was a bit of jealousy on Bob part at first, but now they seem to be getting along. As a matter of fact, I think that they are making eyes at each other in the garage.

Maybe we will be expecting some tricycles in the fall.

I love' em both and the funny part is the guys that we mt bike with call them by name!

My new Cannondale is Miranda. She is a little spitfire much like my favorite Sex in the City character and also a Texas singer I love, both named Miranda.

My former bike was Fiona. She was a pain in the rear but her intentions were good, much like Fiona in Shrek.

My bike is Dynah but I never call her that. I've never managed to really be able to call my inamimate (sp?) objects by names, as much as I've tried! One of my closest friends in high school had an old green station wagon that her family had always called The Green Demon, so I've always loved the idea of naming things, but alas, the names don't stick!

I've been waiting for my new (since feb) bike to tell me her name, but she hasn't done it. I suspect she is really a boy and I'm just not hearing his name...

[rocknrollgirl]

It took Gidget 4 months to tell me...it will happen.

[Celeste]

My Bianchi She bike is named Celeste...that is her color and her name. May be kind of lame; but it seemed to fit her. And it's a pretty name for a pretty bike.

I probably posted on at least one of the other threads, I've slept (or tried to LOL) since then, but....
My Trek Navigator 50 is called The Little Navigator that Could. She's done more than any Navigator 50 should have in an entire lifetime already in just a year and half. 5700+ miles on a comfort bike, she's not stock Navigator anymore and is now a hybrid all of her own. Her first adjustment was an adjustable stem, then barends on her handlebars. She has had a rack added to the back (blew out her bottom bracket after 500 hard miles in a few months) and once she got her 1.5" Bontrager inverted treads instead of the 1.95 knobbies she came with, she was a lean, mean century machine
I fell in love with a Trek Pilot 1.2 WSD in Lava Red and she was to be named Pele (Lava Red) but we didn't get a chance to get to know each other sadly. The 2007 model (we've only met in photos) is Mineral Blue and she's been whispering her name is Lady Ice. Doubt we get well aquainted either (or at all until I'm back on a bike some time in the future) My favorite LBS (downtown location) closed a couple weeks ago so I don't get to have my periodic new bike smell fix now. Until I can make my way back to Carmel (22 mile ride one way) we won't be meeting soon.

My metallic green custom Rodriguez touring bike is Emmy which is short for Esmerelda as I think of her as my emerald gem.

My Specialized Sequoia Elite has gone through three names and has finally settled on Ellie. My hybrid is called "The Beast" because he's so heavy.

[Python]

Mine's called Allie (Allie the Raleigh ).

Now we have another identical bike but haven't given it a name yet.

[pooks]

That's easy! Allie the Other!

[mary9761]

Maybe they're Fraternal Twins... Allie the Raleigh and OLLIE the Raleigh

[Python]

LOL. I like that. Allie & Ollie

[Tater]

Let's see...the '04 blue Specialized Dulce Elite is Khamsin, ('desert wind' in Arabic, I think.)

The '05 red Raleigh M40 mtb is Java, she's my bomb proof commutermobile and better than a cup o' joe in the mornings.

My new ride, an '06 green Giant TCR cw just recently received her name: Greta.
