Yes, it might sound a bit 'gay', but hear me out. It wasn't my idea...

When I was thinking on colours for my new build, I contacted a mate who's a bmxer & an ace graphic artist & asked him for colour ideas.

He replied: "Think of what you're going to call her 1st, then the colours will come easily".

Haven't met her yet, so dunno what I'll call her...

Is this normal? Does anyone else have names for their bikes?

in 1992 my mk1 holmes was given the nickname "the long boat"

due to other frames of the time having 20" or less top tubes and the holmes having a 21" and a longer rear end
