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).

If you have to ask an online bike forum, your bike isn't ready for a name just yet. Get it built, ride it, and a name will come.

haha it turns out everyone hates your idea.

me of the juveniles that name their pipes and ****.

Butt face.
Because your bike has a butt for a face.
