Some bikes have the most ludicrous names

As a full time greaser I get to fix a lot of bikes with preposterous, amuzing and plain daft labels. It normally turns out that bad bikes are born with a bad name ([i][/make/model)i].

ie: [b][/Economic Challengeb]

or [b][/Ammacco Banbusb]

HA HA HA. I LOVE IT.

What r your favourites?

Todays was a Carribian Calypso MTB.

and how could I forget this beauty:

i hate all ammacos. They are shite bikes

Thankyou Salcano for Your EVIL BMX (above), thanks.

ammocco is nearly the worst!

I used to have a Skansen. Rhymes with Hanson, sounds like a scabby venereal disease.

Apollo Creed always makes me chuckle

Rock Machine.

"Il Pompino" has gotta be up there.. if you know the translation..

"raleigh" - what the fuck is that about

Some git wanted to liken it to rally-ing.. keys stuck together on the typewriter and the rest is history.
Hey hang on a second.. why you little! :P

at my local LBS,
i saw a kid's BMX called 'professional'
and another BMX called 'six pack'... beat that!

Ah. Clearly it's the Paké. Try selling one of those round Brick Lane...

lol

what about a Faggin? mm.... Italian.

Juan Solo is a pretty cool name for a singlespeed.

Although not a bike, "le coq sportif" always makes me wonder..

edmundane at my local LBS,
....
and another BMX called 'six pack'... beat that!

Wasn't a DK was it? They do the 4 pack and the 8 pack too. It refers to dirt jumps (as in 4 of 6 of or 8 of). For some reason the lower the number is the better bike. Weird.

all of the lemond names are preposterously generic/pretencious.

Just got back from Tokyo where there was a lot of bikes branded "Captain Stag".

Charge have some odd ones too. Plug? Tap? Iron? Stove?

Do they just look around the house at inanimate objects for inspiration? Silly names indeed.

Plum.

Surly Karate Monkey

Cove have some great names for their bikes. Handjob is my favourite:)

if i had to name a range of bikes i'd name them after fruits

Sounds interesting to me.

Grape idea.
