I have a Cannondale road bike with rim brakes. Her name is Candy. I enjoy riding her.
I have a gravel bike with disc brakes. Her name is Shef. I enjoy riding her too.
I have a titanium endurance bike with disc brakes. Her name is Titty. I really enjoy riding her.
I'm about to offer a home to an elderly steel Condor with rim brakes. I havent thought of a name for her (yet), and I'll only take her outside when the weather is clement.
For me - brakes are not the most important criterion, provided they work. I share my time between the plains and the hills. I ride my girls in both environments.
I dont think I'll ever ride a bike with a boy's name ;-)
