Name that Bike!

I've been waiting patiently ... got the call last night ... my LeMond is ready! I'll be picking it up tomorrow.

Althought I have never been one for naming inanimate objects, I feel like I'm adopting a new member of the family. Maybe I should name my new baby! Any suggestions? She's a beautiful silver and light blue bundle of joy!

Argent Bleu Q? Since it's a LeMond (think French) Argent Bleu (Silver Blue) Q for Quint41? That way she has a full name?
Don't know how to exactly explain the french pronounciation but it sounds cool.

Love it Mary!!


another option: Icarus

Treks name for their silvery-blue winged custom paint.......and since LeMond is produced by Trek you wouldn't be deviating from the LeMond brand.

OK, two clever ladies in the crew. ABQ for short, maybe, as the full name would be quite a mouthful. Icarus sounded familiar to me, so I Googled it:

Icarus (Greek Mythology) was son of Daedalus, famous for his death by falling into the sea when he flew too close to the sun, melting the wax holding his artificial wings together.

Hmm... sounds kind of dangerous!!


By the way, Mary .... I don't call 'em hot flashes, I call 'em POWER SURGES!

BUT, even though he eventually fell into the sea, we often forget that first, Icarus flew, and he flew so boldly and so high that he saw the brilliance of the sun. I read a poem to this effect, so can't take credit for the idea--still, it's interesting, no?

ok - every time you called it ABQ I will think you're talking about my home town: Albuquerque or ABQ for short. LOL

How about just the obvious: Silver. Remember the Lone Ranger: "Heigh-o, Silver!" (Oops, is my age showing? )
