    i'm definitely a boy but my new bike will be named Rose..... :D
    Granddaughter has her name on her bike but as she does triathlons i think that's cool; especially as she's only 9. The flag's in front of her name so that seems to be OK too.....

    This is because it's my bike, I bought it and I like my name on it. I don't care what you do to yours or what you think i should do.

    Simple as that. :D

    Well, now, calm down. It was a reasonable question. If I'm honest, I can't even properly pronounce the name of the company that made my bike, whereas I mastered saying my name some time ago... :lol:
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    I have one, and I wish the 25 or so riders in my Sunday group would get one too, as I can only remember the names of about 5 of them, and nametags would be extremely helpful, and avoid those embarrassing moments of not knowing the name of the guy you've been chatting to for the last 3 years.......

    Could be useful if you don't stay shiny side up and you need identifying :lol:

    How about going one step further and having an 'In Case of Emergency' number written on the underside of the down tube :wink:
    "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity" :lol:

    Other than that the answer is very much no!

    Kevin & Shazza winscreen banner anyone? http://www.moneysupermarket.com/car-insurance/blog/10-car-accessories-were-glad-to-see-the-back-of/

    Actually, I have a small one with Union Jack & my name on my bike - dont know why but I kinda like it. Small & discrete bit of personalisation. I get why people say they are naff but I am sure we all have our little things that we like which others might not...

    I'm sure he would rather be called the wrong name than notice you keep staring at his top tube and squinting :D

    I think the only source for such a product has already been mentioned :lol:

    I took a photo of my ipad with this thread open but I'm never going to post it on here so the thread never existed and none of you ever wrote anything.

    I think that is wonderful!
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.

    :lol: Sorry, that did come over as a bit aggressive at you the OP which wasn't the intention. it should have read.....

    I don't care what anyone does to theirs or what they think I should do.

    If your name is W*nker then it would be really classy. Especially the little flag ones.

    My Cannondale MTB has five component manufacturers listed on the seat stay (it came like that).
    Its a bit like when chavs put accessory manufactures names in the rear side window :shock:

    I do not think three of them are represented on the bike.
    One of them is Mavic even though the bike had Easton wheels.
    I have recently changed them to Mavics though (It needed extra bling) so thats that sorted

    Do you suppose that Wiggins has "Sir Wiggo, Gold medal, World Champion, TdF winner" on his?

    In which case, it's a good thing that they didn't have these things around when Mercx rode, he'd have needed an extra top tube to list all his palmares.
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    No, he has "I wish I was as fast as Froomey" on his... :mrgreen:

    Apparently Sky have also put one on the upper part of Froomey's top tube. It says "Try looking up occasionally, then you might not fall off"

    Shouldn't it be put on his stem?
