What should I name my bike?
I am currently repainting my '07 Raleigh Rush Hour to look like a WWII fighter (think P-51 or P47). It will be raw steel, with thick white and black stripes wrapping around the downtube and seattube, and little swastikas on the top tube symbolizing my "kills." On the fork blades I am going to attach decals of a pin up girl that I drew.
THE ONLY THING MISSING IS A NAME!
any clever suggestions? other ideas on the paint scheme? (I'm not done yet!)
-thanks!

Yeah...the swastikas are not gonna get recognized for what you think and your bike is gonna get thrashed.
We had a lady come into the shop and she had put a vintage prewar decal on her fender that had a very small swastika (it is a very old form of Christian cross) and had her bike trashed when someone tried to tear off the fender when they could not remove the decal (it had been shellacked).
