Bicycle Brand Personality Survey

[Trek420]

Cdale SuperSix (road): pretty-boy, athletic, vain.

So would you say he's the Mick Jagger of bikes?

Cdale F5 (mtn.): I haven't ridden her enough to really get a feel for her personality. I crash a lot on her, so I think maybe she's a klutz. And she's kinda on the heavy side, but strong. Oh, wait...I think I'm projecting myself on my bike!

Sounds like Lucy Ricadro? But then she was no klutz. Those pratfalls, and slapstick were pure art.

Hmmm...I don't know about Mick Jagger...he's less pretty than sorta icky. Maybe Russell Crowe. Attractive, athletic, kinda douchey...

Lucy Ricardo, now THAT does sound a lot like my mtn. bike! And the art part would be the colorful bruises that end up decorating my body!

My bikes aren't really celebrity material

My TT bike has earned the nickname "the short bus"... cause it's tiny and school bus yellow - I suppose if it had to be associated with a celebrity figure it could be Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump?

My kiddie sized cross bike Mini Me from Austin Powers? or maybe Mighty Mouse?

OK... my new road bike could be a star I guess (2011 Amira pro - the carbon black and matte black one) - but probably not what they were thinking - I'd say it's Batman

My rain bike is plain jane ti... the only personality it has is by what buddy flap I put on it (used to be hula girls, currently bacon)... I couldn't even say its a centerfold, cause naked as it is, it's not particularly sexy with it's heavy duty rims and fenders.... more like the old lady at the nudist camp.

(I checked out the survey for giggles... I don't think I knew who 1/2 of the celebrities were to be able to compare their personalities to a corporation anyway....)

Ok, what about all of our Surly LHT? Would they have the personality of a dependable butler or a sexy, strong, dependable guy who will go the distance for us? Ooohhhhh, Matt Damon. Or at least what I imagine Matt Damon to be.

[Crankin]

I could care less about celebrities and most certainly do not associate my bikes with them. I don't name my bikes, either.
I saw the first question on the survey and quit. It really looks like some stupid college assignment, where the writers don't actually ride bikes.

This sums up my feelings as well.

I hope the person who posted this survey takes the time to read these responses. They are great feedback and an excellent focus group on what we think of the survey.

Ooh...or Daniel Craig or Hugh Jackman... *swoons*

[OakLeaf]

Heh. Now, I don't have a LHT, but I very much understand the appeal. Still, they don't strike me as sexy at all. I'd go more toward Ron Perlman.

Ooh, or Tom Hanks as himself...not sexy in the traditional sense, but stable and likable.
