The first four bikes that I've bought/built were named Fatty Lumpkin, Asfaloth, Bill the Pony, and Oliphaunt. The roadie was going to be Ancalagon, as I'd originally planned to build it up all black, but that didn't play out and now I'm kind of over naming bikes. BTW, you appear to be parked upside down.

Not mine, but a classmate's, spotted at the rack today. I'd love to have one, although preferably not so pink.
