Come on guys, we can do better. And that reminds me too much of Cervelo now.

Combine it with 'bici' or 'bicicletta' (bicycle in Italian) for a catchier name.

Has enough time passed to bring to the market the il Duce brand of bikes....and their top of the line Carnefice? Their Boia tri-bike? And their dedicated climbing bike, the Forca?

Whoa. I was not expecting that. I guess it would be ok for export, might still raise a few eyebrows here...

Not to worry. Industry word has it that starting in January '09, one of the major US manufacturers will be introducing a new, pro-level bike, called The 'tard, in honor of everything dubya has done for our country.

Isn't that the "invent an Italian bike name" game. It's gotta sound like something that's already out there but not infringe on copyright.

Careful. Neve is the Italian word for snow. For some reason 'fast snow' does not get my blood boiling (and more importantly, have me ripping out my checkbook).

That's because you live south of the Artic Circle. From personal experience, the snow can get awfully fast up there.

LOL, "brain bike". Yeah right! If you ask me, my first language being French, it's a play on words which is more suggestive of cerf-volant (a kite) combined with vélo (a bicycle). In other words, it's supposed to make you think of a bike so light that it flies.

This is beside the point that if you think winning anything in any road race or triathlon has anything to do with the actual bike the cyclist was riding, you have got to be sadly lacking in any cycling knowledge whatsoever, and you should probably be spending your time on cooking or needlework forums rather than a cycling forum.
