I like the Don Quixote reference. I have a Trek 520 as well and was going to name it "The Mighty One" after the Motorcycle Diaries but I figured I'd never go on to start a peoples rebellion in several countries like Che, so I didn't.

However, after I painted it neon yellow and orange with polkadots, rebuilt the wheels (48 spokes), put on new cranks/chainring, a saddle and trekking handlebars it now looks like something built by a committee - the platypus of the bike world - hence the Frankenbike (not Fankenbike).
