Does your bike have a name?

[IFjane]

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.

KayTee! I'm so glad you posted a pic of Barbie! I know I talked about my bike's name somewhere - possibly on the "IF Riders" thread....

My bike (the only one as of now, though I am trying to save my pennies so I can catch up with KayTee ) is named Godiva. Not because of the chocolate, but because she is an IndyFab Ti Crown Jewel and she is totally naked. Not a speck of paint on her. Now if her rider only had long, flowing blonde hair to go with it....oh yeah, and then there's the girlish figure, too
