Does your bike have a name?

[mary9761]

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.

Hey! I drive a MINI too! Her name is Moneypenny. Mostly because she has a navigation system that keeps me going in the right direction.

I saw that in your sig. and that's why I mentioned mine. LOVE the name Moneypenny! What color is she? Mine's a 2004 silver w/ black bonnet stripes and I absolutely love him! Best car I've ever owned, hands down.

Funny thing is...I also just sold my 2006 Dolce Comp a couple of months ago...so we have lots in common! Her name was Tinkerbell, by the way.

My Bianchi is named Sprout--because she's little and green. I have to admit that I "stole" the name from someone else on the Forum that has a Bianchi named Professor Sprout. Can't remember who that is. Mimitabby, maybe? In private, however, I call her Baby.

My bikes don't use their names for some reason...but my MINI does. He goes by Henry.

I have a kitty named Henry. Love it!

I've probably posted this elsewhere but here are my ponies names:

My road bike is Lavender Menace because she's a subtle shade of lavender, she's subtle, like me

My Commuter is Bradley but she's fast getting less "tank-like"

The Motobecane is tentatively named "Mixte Fixe", I wonder if Chris at Robinson Wheelworks will be done with her anytime soon?? Chris I know you Google the shop name weekly so - how's the bike?

Moneypenny is a 2003 Indi Blue (the darker blue) Cooper with white roof & white bonnet stripes. I absolutely love that car! The handling is just unbelievable!

get in the drops- can you feel Mercury rising?
her rider- mad as a hatter...

May be shortened to 'Mercy' or lengthened to 'merqueri'
she's a brushed aluminum allez elite with *full* black 105 grouppo, black wheelset, black wraps, black brooks with silver rivets.
and she'll be mine today.

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.

I don't get her until later today or tomorrow...
this is what she looks like, tho...
with Shimano WH-R 540 wheelset, 16 black, bladed, paired spokes each wheel....

She's 18-18.5#.

I have a Giant TCR which is magenta, silver and black (T-Mobile colors). I call her Mags......and I just adore her!!!!

[pooks]

I've seen so many names here that I love. I hope imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery, because I may end up using one of them when I get my new road bike.

My Trek hybrid is matte green and I finally named her Nessie(Loch Ness Monster) and she peeks out when she wants but doesn't get ridden as often as the Giant road bike-which btw is still nameless-Any ideas?

silver w/ black and yellow striping.
