Terrible bike names

The civilian Luddite. amazingly enough it has been used as a model name before!

Raleigh .....

Having literally just this minute finished building a Raleigh dyna-tech titanium/rsp tourus/x-lite bike, I have to disagree there, though my first mtb was a Raleigh Cajun. Back then I thought it was named after a curry, the naievity of youth.

OK I'm biased, I've never had a decent Raleigh so don't know what a properly made one is like. I just had to put up with the tat BSOs they produced in the 80s.

Also (I might be beheaded for this) TREKK... Isn't that like naming a good pair of hiking boots "Bike"..?

Not sure about that as people do go bike trekking don't they?

Anything made by Dave Lloyd or Cove is usually cringe inducing. Probably funny to a 14 year old but I'd be embarrassed to ride one let alone spend top money on owning one.

The Commençal SuperNormal always brings a smile to my face.
Although the bike is indeed nothing out of the ordinary, so it's a bit apt really...

All the best,

Retro ones that spring to mind:

The Donkis knob, dogs bollox ones, makes me think they went on to drive a nova with a sticker of dogs balls in the back window and a pissing football fan, funny, before the age of shaving.

Some of the Kona ones, 'I have a hurumpha-nana-mumu', 'poor thing I hope it isn't too serious'.

It's kind of hard though to pick a brand name for a bike without it sounding cheesy or just crap.

Is it crap or quite funny?

The S&M bmx model: Heavy as F**k....except without the asterisks.

All the best,

Kona DuDu made me laugh, it still makes me laugh.... long live schoolboy humour!
