Well-
I now rfer to my silver bike as Ted all the time.
Because- well, it's not like I can call him "the schwinn" or the "cannondale".
Because he is a VeloRazzo- and unless I name him something from Midnight Cowboy like Ratso Rizzo -
it doesn't trip lightly off the tongue...

Hence the name "Ted".

However- my Schwinn Mesa GSX is now another matter entirely...

it is primarily black with red detail- red rims, a red front fender ( which may go depending on my whim)red and black grips, black components...black shocks...
and a nice spot of cream on the head tube.

so- several things come to mind- maybe something with black coffee and cream...

The Red and the Black is an X Files reference- oh yes, that's me- the media/pop culture maven...

or perhaps a black widow-ish name like Elvira <glint>

Yes- I believe she is a she- and I think Elvira is a good name.

What do you think?
