Foo - Worst bike names.

I have a great Litespeed mountain bike named a "Pisgah". After owning the bike I learned it was a National Park and a great place to ride Mountain Bikes near that factory.

Everyone else I know thinks the name is something disgusting. Is this the worst bike name in the world?

I have an old Ross ten speed, on the down tube they spelled bicycle "bicyele". Is that the worst spelling on a bike?

I have a Giant Yukon SE, isn't an SUV a Yukon?

:D

My poor stolen bike. Hummer.

:) I ride with a group, get initiated (riding with them, ahem) - so a stuntman shot and then get a nickname.



Guess what my nickname is with that group.



Takes a strong woman to carry that one off. :)

Pretty much any bike named after a car. Except maybe in the old days when cars didnt have stupid names.

My mountain bike is a Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo - not a bad name - just odd - doesn't exactly role off the tongue. It's evidently named after a trail in CA.

Definitely different!

My bikes are named blue bike, white bike, fixie, CX, mountain bike, shi$$y bike and Fuji. None of them are good enough to be called hummer. When I find a bike worthy of that name I will sell all the other bikes and ride that one exclusively:).

Nothing beats Kona's Humuhumu-nukunuku-apua'a (http://www.konaworld.com/bikes/2k7/HUMUHUMU/index.html)!

End of thread! :D

Hahanna.

Not actually bad, but how the hell do you pronounce that?? Huhonna? Huh-hannah, like the name?

Hmmm... Pisgah is a great place to ride a mountain bike. Sounds like a good name for a mountain bike to me.

Yukon is a province in Canada not an SUV, typically with connotations of an outdoorsy place (whether true or not), so naming a bike as well as an SUV after it makes sense, so I don't think that's a bad name for a bike, either.

Actually some of those are pretty awesome.

This is the "One"

The name isn't bad, but it's the weirdest looking bike!

Surly Pugsley!

Trek Antelope from twenty years ago.

What's wrong with Pugsley? It fits! Look at this big fat mother****er:

What would you propose calling it? Twiggy? :p
That thing is awesome.

Could you imagine a Specialized Citation?

Me neither

Thats so ugly that I want one.

On the last dirt session of the year my bike was aptly named 'F*cked' because I couldn't pedal through the last pack without the BB loosening.

Tude, can you translate that to English? I'm an old guy and have absolutely no idea what you said.

Don't feel bad. I have no idea of what she's saying 90% of the time. :)

That's why I love her so much. ;)

Anyone remember Mikabike? Posted here and in T&N? He was large and rode a Kona Boss Hoss that he named Prison Sex.

I ride Treks, so they are numbered, not named. To date I have had a 330, a 1000, a 1200, a 8000. Other bikes I have owned are a Puegoet Orient Express, a Bridgestone MB-4, and a Falcon Europa. The 8000, the 1200 and the Europa are still in my possession.

Wow,some amazing names I never heard of. That Kona is so bad I think they would lose sales over the name.

So there is a huge gear or a chain in the frame ring that drives a hidden gear in the chainstay? And it will rotate to fold the bike? HUH?


I've got to see a picture of that! OK, stand by. Maybe I have a collectors item! ......................maybe not.....

How about Cannondale's Taurine? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine BILE??? What were they thinking??

worst evar

---Faggin----

It's also an ingredient in a lot of those nasty "energy" drinks. I think that's probably more what Cannondale was going for. :p


OR, they want people to puke with envy?:D

worst evar

---Faggin----

WTF.

Faggin's pwn.

I almost bought one, but I found the CAAD 6.

Worst bike names? I nomonate for consideration:

Huffy
Magna
C. Itoh
AMF

Nothing inherently wrong with any of the names, but the crap they got attached to (obviously not including the Serotta-built "Huffys" made for the 7-Eleven team) has rendered all of them odious. I'd be more likely to show interest in a frame with stickers that said "Dog Turd" than ones that say "Magna."

How about an S&M Call Girl

One one "Pompino"

http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/BI306G01-On+One+Pompino+Complete+Bike.aspx?SSAID=228999

"Pompino" is Italian slang for sex act. Marketing genius.
You know what's great with this frame?, a set of "*******" wheels.

Slight change of terminology by the moderators-TS

First off, it's just a rendering. I doubt a prototype even exists. If it did, I'd imagine it'd need some kind of flexible driveshaft or something similar. All kinds of power loss.

I was thinking the same thing. Just a photo. Mabye a photo of a model.

Panasonic is a pretty crappy name for a bike. Why couldnt they have a bike division with its own name? Maybe "GENERIC TANGE2 STEEL TUBED BIKE" and then in really small letters "by Panasonic". Anything but that name.
I had 2 DX-4000's and loved them both, but the occasional jackass would say something like "where's the shaver attachment?" or "where's the antenna?". I had my first one in high school so I guess that should be expected. :o

I've got to see a picture of that! :lol:

Surly's Big Dummy, may as well call it "Bloody Moron" because at least that would have a british ring to it.

I once had a bike I called "Bike de merde", the name translates into "piece of **** bike", it was a worn-out giant Yukon that gave me no end of misery. But were I a bike maker I wouldn't call a bike "bike de merde" or "gros cave" (big dummy).
