If 'Madone' is pronounced 'Mad One', I like it. If it's 'ma done?' as in, have I finished, not so good. Ma doh nay, pretty cool. Madoan....kind of insipid, and thus probably the correct pronunciation.
I do like Vortex as a bike name, and Fusion would be kinda cool. Confusione, the Italian version, not so cool. 'Fissiont' might be ok, equipped with 105 and supplying decent bang for the buck...

While I'm at it, I might as well be the one to suggest this:
"Lance" ;p
A few more:
"Coke/Cocaine" (i mean c'mon folks - we've got a seriously expensive habit here...)
"C8H10N4O2" (chemical formula for caffeine) or just "Caffeine"
"Meat Piston" (if you're a serious biker, you've got two of them already)
"Nitrox" (laughing gas ;)
"Thump" (what you're gonna do to the competition - or have done to you)
"Bonk" (no explanation needed)

You could name a bike "Your Momma."
Then when your friends ask what you did last weekend, you could say "I rode Your Momma for about 4 hours, then I totally bonked."

Spinnerello? Sounds good to me
How about Banshee instead of Bianchi?

Canuck content? Cherry doesn't cut it for me, although I like his kit.
How about the Horton Java, or the Beaver Tail. For a mtb how about a Beachcomber or Degrassi...
The all time best Canadian bike, other than the Marioni would of course be the fabled CCM (insert name here) and any Norco bike. I wouldn't be on two wheels if I didn't have one of them tanks first.

I only bring in Cherry as he always calls Patrick Roy as "Pat Roy" rather than the French pronunciation of Patric Wha
CCM is teh b35t
I use to have a Norco Magnum SE, Road Bike
I also use to have a Rocky Mountain "Hammer" MTB. Love that name
I still have a Rocky Mountain "Wedge" MTB
I still have a classic Sprinter road bike, true gas pipe special
