Oh mighty Org, be my Muse? - SV650.org

I started work on my Recumbent bike frame today, I have the front triangle and the rear sub frame.

It looks very odd with a twenty inch BMX front wheel and twenty six inch Mountain Bike rear, but should be a huge amount of fun when it is finally together. I am still to make my Boom for the Bottom Bracket, which will be mounted on the head tube. Under seat steering has worked out to be overly complicated so I am going with a conventional (?) up front system.

I am so excited, I can't wait until it is finally together and I can go for a blast.

Right my Dear Friends of the Mighty Org, I need a name for this machine. I have already decided on the brand name I am using thanks to the help I am getting from my friend Wayne the Welder, but I need inspiration for a model name. This is a ludicrous idea of a bike and is designed so I can try to over come a chronic pain problem and get fit again, thus losing some weight, gaining self esteem and so I just stop feeling so negative when I look wishfully at my beautiful push bikes.

My last custom made bike is called Bad Dog and that is a conventional touring bike, this is going to be a capable strong and sporty Recumbent, so needs a suitably silly, unusual or down right peculiar name. Almost all ideas are welcomed, but do bear in mind that I have to ride this thing around town, so calling it a Dirty Lezza bike is not really appropriate (Lozzo!)

Once it is together, I shall be blasting around town like a loonie again, I just have to decide what colour I want it. Bad Dog is blue and my Mountain bike is black and yellow. Maybe a girly pink this time...

Incase you do not know what a recumbent bike is, have a look at this or this. However this is just mad!

I can't help it ---- "Think of England" because if a bus driver doesn't see you, you're f***ed.

Or perhaps, "The Recumbent Woman" if you fancy something a little more cultured.

How about 'Easy rider',

its dirty enough to appeal to you and its true, as the bike is more comfortable x

That does appeal, simply because it is straight to the point.

Hmm, two votes for easy rider, although the first vote did not imply that I am a dirty tart!

You know me so well VT

Other names I have thought about are "Spinning Jenny" because with wheels and sprockets in odd places it frankly looks Lethal!

I was asked today what, if after all of this hard work and research and fettling, I would do if once it is finished it rides like a sick dog? My answer:

It sure looks odd though, as you would expect from a device made in a shed by a mad girl.

Anyway keep the ideas coming. If this thing works out, it will have the name of your choice painted in lovely Inch high letters on it's main tubes.

The Death Trap ?

No, not being nasty, even though my tolerance for cyclists in London is at a huge low at the moment due to the fact that if one is even near us I feel Vixis tense up when she's on the back.

But as its you, I thought it would be kind of cool - paint it black, but get some of the 3M refelective sheet/tape and get lots of skulls/grim reaper silhouettes cut in it (Paul the 6th may be able to help with that), using the play on words of Trap as in Pony Trap to signify a means of transport rather than a fatality waiting to happen.

Or maybe my humour is a touch too dark...

I have no idea of you as a person; having never met, so working just on what you've described and why you're building it..."Inspired Madness" springs to mind

Cheers Mark.
