Name the Frame
Well this is something I have done for any and every frame/bike I’ve owned. The rules are simple, there is only one rule to follow - You cannot ride the bike until it is named. I think it goes back to the naming of a vessel before it is launched into the ocean. Although in this case I’d suggest not using a magnum of Champaign on the new carbon frame. I’m tipping the frame might take the impact but not willing to put money on it.
Most blokes will name their bikes after a female so as to express how hard “they” rode “her” today, Clearly an analogy to them not wearing the pants in their current relationship could be pointed out. This will in turn have the MRS roll her eyes whenever you speak of “insert name of your bike here” or “The Darling” a name used by my father (this is no joke) for as long as I can remember.
I on the other hand I tend to go with a males name, this has and even more mysterious roots - no I’m not gay… “not that there is anything wrong with that!” The two factors or rational to having a male name is that the bike will be,
1 -Low Maintenance
2 – easy to work with!
This said my MRS still rolled her eyes at this comment, which was the desired result.
