Yup, gotta let the bike tell you. Flosshilde told me what she wanted me to call her as I was falling asleep one night. And that was before I even had her in my hot little hands!Originally Posted by SouthernBelle
Now that I have her, I must say the name suits her beautifully.
(actually, my dog's name "came to me" in the same way)

Enjoy your new RIDE!
Can't wait to see pictures!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Here she is...
Pictures! One pretty standard pic from the side, then a more artsy one--I love Photoshop!
And possible names. So far, she's only whispering, so it might be any of these:
MizCrabtree (of Little Rascals fame)
Abby Normal (from "Young Frankenstein")
Sugar Magnolia (from nowhere in particular--though I think there was a popular song by this title, back in the 80s?)
Annabelle Lee (E. A. Poe)
and the one I'm leaning toward at the moment, Professor Sprout, from the world of Harry Potter:
"Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint."
Sounds more like a MTB maybe, but still, I like the sense of tomboyishness.
Any preferences?Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

Wow, Nanci--I checked out that century online--looks like you Gainesville cyclists have a whole cycling weekend. It looks like fun and I'd love to come, but our local century is that very weekend--it'll be Prof. Sprout's first metric, and my first in about 3 years.
