Master  2447    White Oak, Texas |  Subject: My new ride. Should it have a name?This is my new Tri bike I built it using parts from my Nemesis, my Fuji team, the leader frame, and used parts. Key components include DA front and rear derailleurs, DA shifters, FSA carbon crank, Ultegra brakes, Ritchie pro bull horn, Profile design carbon strike aero bars, and Cane Creek 58 wheels. My wife tells me she is confused about what bike I am referring to when I talk about them so should I name it? If so give me some ideas.

Expert 966 Decatur | Subject: RE: My new ride. Should it have a name? I guess I should expalin where I came up with that. Your bike frame i.e. the bone of your bike is red. And you since you built it from other bike parts, it has a red bone. Hence RED BONE |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: My new ride. Should it have a name? Of course you must name your bike! Unnamed bike is like having an unnamed ship--not good luck! Something with Z--it doesn't have Zipps so Zippety Doo Dah is no good, maybe Zoom Boom? |

Member 347 | Subject: RE: My new ride. Should it have a name? Is it a boy bike or a girl bike? I'm a guy but I ride a girl named bike. I have a Jamis Trilogy and I named her "Jenna". Can you figure out why? For your bike, I like Lucinda. You could call her Lucy. |

Extreme Veteran 477 | Subject: RE: My new ride. Should it have a name? Curious why you took parts from the others to build this?...did you not like the others and what do you like more about this? Is it about fit? I like it a lot...I'm just curious. |

Master 2447 White Oak, Texas | Subject: RE: My new ride. Should it have a name? Good questions I donot know how it is i havent ridden it yet. As far as it vs the nemesis I just liked the looks of the Leader I find the carbon seat stays on my fugi give a nicer ride and it was my birthday and I got a super good deal on the frame I am un decided as to what to do withthe Nemesis now 1. put it on the shelf in case I break this one, 2. fix it up and sell it or loan it out, 3. sell the frame? |

Expert 987 Durham, North Carolina | Subject: RE: My new ride. Should it have a name? Genesis. Since parts came from Nemesis, Genesis kidna sounds the same, and according to Merriam Webster, it means: Etymology: Latin, from Greek, from gignesthai to be born, the origin or coming into being of something.Seems to me this is a new bike coming into being, a born creation of your imaginitive skills and old bike parts. |
