I, too, have a bike named Fred, a fast and ultralight '02 Fondriest Carb Level with Campy Record 10 and all kinds of carbon fiber bits hung all over him. When I ride him I feel like a fred. I bought him after a particularly good season but have been on a downhill slide since then.
PeeWee is my '06 S&S-coupled steel IndyFab Crown Jewel - for my Great Adventures, get it? And Barbie, a.k.a. Barbie's Playbike, is my winter bike, a 1990 SLX steel Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra pictured below. She was repainted last year (and named for) her original Team Weinmann colors. What looks like blue paint is actually a deep purple. Quite flamboyant, but she rides and handles like a dream, and I love her.
And some call our tandem The Mothership.
