My Wife just bought (it’s being built) her first triathlon bike. About $5000.
It’s a BIG purchase. We do not throw that kind of money around unless it really important.
Included in that price is the naming of the bike. It will be hand painted on the frame.
Her road bike is named ‘Wasabi’. That is also painted on the frame.
Her road bike of the same brand but will not cut it for an Iron Man.
Yep, my Wife is gonna do an Iron Man. 2.4 miles in the water, a 112 mile bike ride and then a full 26 mile marathon to end it.
I don’t really understand it either, but I am the pit crew and am trying to help my Wife come up with a name for the new bike.
The new bike is black with pink highlights.
We live at BIG altitude.
Anything that incorporates the word ‘Funk’or living at altitude is good. My Wife’s maiden name is Funk.
I’ve got nothing.
Since her last bike was named Wasabi, (she was a horse trainer, and horseradish/wasabi just sort of fit.)
The new bike is black in color, with pink highlights. I thought -----
Pepper
Any ideas?

Mazeppa !
It sounds cool.
Horse-related, after a fashion.
Most people won’t know who it refers to, but they should be quaking in their space boots.
Alternately: New Funk City, Tip Top Terror, Witch Mountain Mama, Hippolyta.

Kinda like that. But. no.
Though I would like to be able to call the bike ‘Ivan’ for short.
It would really piss my Wife off. But in a good way.
:snerk: Want me to get Ivan set up?
Hell, I’m the guy that works on this bike a bit and carries it around and loads it into cars and takes care off bike rakes and stuff. I take care of the bike racks on different cars and move the darn thing from one car to another.
I crown thee ummmm…(looks about)

Nope.
Samsung
ehhhh.
Clean Wipes!
THAT’S FOR MONITORS!

Made in Canada actually. GURU A company in Canada.
Black and at altitude:
Most of these are music in nature:
P-funk" also came to mean something in its quintessence, of superior quality, or sui generis, as in the lyrics from “P-Funk,” a hit single from Parliament’s album "Mothership Connection “I want the bomb. I want the P-Funk. I want my funk uncut”
Prince is also a little bit funk - what about Little Red Corvette, or Rasberry Beret?
Dave.
There is just something about naming inanimate objects (or pets) Dave…
I know a guy who had a stove called Dave. I used to have a fridge called “Evil Fridge”.

:snerk:
My cousin had a dog named Dave.
The little dog would sometimes tree full size people. Dave was a Sptiz, Pomeranian mix. About 15 pounds.
I was 19 years old and didn’t know better.
But once, this small dog ‘treed’ a guy on the hood of his car.
As the little dog circled the car I kept yelling – “Dave, come here”.
“DAVE, come HERE!” Dave SIT.! STAY!
DAVE, COME, DAMMIT COME OVER HERE. DAVE COME ON, BE A GOOD BOY.
COME HERE, IT’S OK REALLY. RELAX. ITS OK.
Dave, the dog split and took on new adventures.
Those that had gathered thought that I was trying to talk “Dave” off the hood of his car.
I also like regular names for basic objects, and I will never forget my cousins dog Dave.
And Dave, you could sure be an asshole some times. God Speed.
Miss you bud.

Make it classy. Just your wife’s name down the side of the top-tube, perhaps just a first initial followed by a last name.
Iron Horse Funk

My Wifes initials where P F before we got married. She had a nick name of ‘Flyer’ (remember PF Flyers, the gym shoe?)
Her maiden name is Funk.
So, we have it. Funky Flyer.
Thanks for the ideas.
Damn, too late. I was going to suggest “Funkin’ Fast.”
