What's in a frame name...?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Then the model is names appropriately Knowing the crazy cyclists out there, someone would be willing to buy it just to have a frame with that name on it... or cut the stickers up to make it even better!

Dear Axeman Bicycles,

I was really hoping to see Uranus. Why can't I see Uranus? Where can I see Uranus in person? I'd like to ride Uranus.

Signed Billy, aged 11.

Billy,

Uranus is a customized product. Uranus comes in many sizes and colors. It is very hard to actually see Uranus with your own eyes. However, Uranus is too large for an 11 year old to ride. If Uranus still intrigues you when you get older, please contact us, and we will arrange a meeting between you and Uranus.

Sincerely,
Axeman Bicycles

Criticizing immaturity does nothing when you follow it up with immaturity. And no, the attempted big word doesn't fool anyone.

No capital (whoops) on proctologist, keep that in mind for the GED. Nice try however, very witty.

Point taken, although I am not entirely sure what you mean, or what you are implying by "big word"?

Using the word "proctologist" to cover the childish backlash.

No offense, but if you think that is a "big word", then maybe you should spend more time reading books, instead of internet forums.

Its a trials bike, they rarely have saddles. Very very technical style of mountain biking. Its where Hans Rey, Ryan Leech, Aaron Chase and Jeff Lenosky got their starts
