My first road bike, a blue Bianchi w/that Bianchi green lettering: Chip, after the green being like mint-chip ice cream.
My new Orbea (a lovely blue Spainiard!): Silver (it's so light, when I first saw it, I thought, "Hi ho, Silver, Aw-w-ay!") It'll do until something else comes along...
A friend has an Orbea and we first called it Pepe, the name I called her ex-husband who finally paid her the $$ he owed her so she could buy a bike. Now that she's a real roadie, she changed her bike's name. I just can't remember the new name.

Pedal On!
