Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Need a name for my bike

now taking suggestions for the name of my bike.....................the frame seems to bare as it is and I'd like to put or paint something on it

please help

Bike reminded me of A Clockwork Orange (word association) thus how about "Droog"

Guido the killer fixie? I name mine Eunice (SP?)

dropsy

Orange Bike

1. Nuclear Tangellow

2. Tang²

3. Le Noblisse Orange

4. Dave (I've always wanted a bike named after me!)

Orange Crush

or Wanna Fanta if you wanna be really annoying like the commerical

that's the same colour my bike will end up with. I used Chevrolet Orange Engine Enamel from Duplicolour. That ****e takes like 5 days to cure! And I still have to do the clearcoat. Or should I forgo that? Cuz that'll mean another 5 days before I can build it back up!

As for names...
1. L'Orange
2. Tang
3. Phunby

Tha handlebars remind me of bovine horns. Rojo Toro (Red Bull)

I love the orange. I think you should name it Nancy or Barb, which you could stencil on in navy script, with a heart on one side...if only to make people scratch their heads.

And progre-ss: don't skip the clear coat!!

Orange CrushThat's already taken (http://www.kellybike.com/2nd_mountain1.html) :) (scroll down to the paint colors). Building one up right now.

Looking at it again - whatever you name it, get rid of those cable routers. They look like they could cause pain, and it doesn't really look like you're using them anyways...

Chuck Yeager's X-1 Bell airplane (the first to break the sound barrier) was very close in color to the bike. The X-1 had 'Glamorous Glennis' painted on the side:

Midori - that is orange in japanese, right?

How about "Oranjeboom" after the beer from the Netherlands...I don't know if it's still in production...I kinda think their barley fields got hit with the Chernobyl cloud. You could print this image and use it as your headbadge.

Just put the words "I've got plastique in my tires" on the side. You wont get in any trouble with the fuzz. I swear!

Midori - that is orange in japanese, right?

nope. midori is green. orange is "orenji".

nameing a bike is serious business. Its something that should not be taken lightly... i think the best thing here is to pack up the bike and send it to ME... then I will ride it around for a while, figure out what the best name would be, then maybe send it back to you.... you can totally trust me!

its a nice looking bike, even though I have NOCOINS on the side of my fixie, I dont think you should do anything to this bike, its simple and beautiful.... dont even wrap the bars.

....meh, **** it, name is Kevin! (thats me!)

Just thought of another one...

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

And then when they ask you why, you break into the knock knock joke that goes something like this (prolly doesn't need explaining but hey, I'll explain anyways)...

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Banana.
Banana who?
...and then you start again at...
Knock knock...

go on until you you see fit and then end with...

knock knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

Well, my kids thought it was funny!!

Bel Aire Bomb or maybe Alice. Yeah, that's simple. Hey P, lets go riding sometime.

How about "Grace"? I just got thru watching "Pulp Fiction" and that was the name painted on Zed's Harley. I love that show.

Why not just bootleg a trade mark on the side like eddy merckx or richard sachs.

Le Orange.

Orangutan

Knock, Knock (OK, I'm jsut screwing around on this one :D )

Ember

Phoenix

Solus

...just a few....I tried to go with the semi-related to orange theme

Agent Orange

1. Sally
2. Leland
3. Schoolbus
4. Mao
5. Typewriter

Agent Orange

I second this. Agent Orange is also one of the better Depeche Mode instrumentals.

How about "Oranjeboom" after the beer from the Netherlands...I don't know if it's still in production...I kinda think their barley fields got hit with the Chernobyl cloud. You could print this image and use it as your headbadge.


It's still around, and still pretty tasty. It's like a less skunked-out Heineken....given Dutch beer seems to taste jjust fine even with a bit of skunk, but still it's nice to have a beer without that unique tinge to the taste :)

Toro. Or, maybe El Toro.

Crap I've been known to drink Oranjeboom from time to time. I hope they are not radioactive, although it might explain why my weiner glows.

Julius

Orenthal James

Hackworth

Spokey
Sproket-Face
"This bike eats facists" (not a name, but something interesting to write on the side)
All your minivans are belong to us (dumb, but funny to me)
Rojo Pinos (sounds grosser than it is)
Gear W h o r e (the board filters out the word unless I spell it like that. ;) )
Chain-Whipped
Shazbot
Zodebacher Special

I could go on for hours. I'm sure you'll come up with something great! Nice bike, btw. :)

peace,
sam

P.S. I agree that the cable stops are a bit odd looking. Unless you are wanting to keep the frame pristine for future use, I'd dremel the extra stops off, sand it smooth, and then touch up the paint before getting it clearcoated. Maybe leave the stops on for a front brake if you decide to add one or something, but definately ditch the ones for the derailleurs.

the nippler
johnny socko (sans Flying Robot)
"little two dunks"
I shot J.R.
**** you

Okay, your search is at an end; I have the name of your bicycle.
*drumroll*

"Tangerine Dream"

If you don't like it I'll third the motion for "Agent Orange" and will add that I, too, like the Depeche Mode song by the same name.

Orange-aid

Orange Crush

I totally missed this one yesterday. LOVE it, its a great name. I say either "Agent Orange" or "Orange Crush" depending on preference. I used to drink Orange Crush like it was going out of style!

Enough with all these orange names. Go with something post modern, you know something that has nothing to do what so ever with the bike. So come on guys the signifier has absolutely nothing to do with the signified.

ok,. lets call it....sushi

or

Herbie

rover

spot

dale

joe

matchbox

I dunno

Today I put more mailbox letters on my bike and in doing so named it Percival. Tomorrow, pictures.

I still vote Schoolbus.

Bike reminded me of A Clockwork Orange (word association) thus how about "Droog"

"Droog" (друг) means "friend" both in Russian (Русский) and "Liverpoolese" (that stuff they spoke in the book/movie). Therefore, I find this a very fitting name for your stallion... er... bike.

What was its name before? How about "The bike formerly known as <oldname>"? :D

Seriuously though, my vote goes to: Ambrosia.

Or if you're a geek, you can name it: #E47833. :D

"Liverpoolese" (that stuff they spoke in the book/movie).

You mean "Nadsat", and for the record, the movie was a total travesty.

How 'bout Yambo.

The Orange Ass Holder

"OAH" for short

the dreamsicle

I always name my messer bikes after Walt Disney cartoon characters.

My modified Cannondale Bad Boy (Ultegra group, geared 11-23) was called Pumba. The singlespeed blue On-One was Dumbo. My current Soma is Thumper

Oh, yeah. Nuts, me.

Maybe you should go easy on the koskenkorva?
