Came here to slag off the name Nukeproof, but been done already! so... pedantry instead!

I used to think the same about the Dogs Bollocks brand

Roberts was the brand. D.O.G.S.B.. etc was one of their frames.

To be fair to Roberts with the Dogs Bollox and Dave Yates with the Donkis Nob, iirc they were a jokey response to the various american brands with their wannabe nasa acronyms.

The Intense sniper/carbine etc. gun references all make we wince as bit as well. QBP brands all seemed to have cool names but of late they seem to be tripping themselves up with them.

Talking of names… don’t you have a full sus bike now? 😉

Bike names are HARD to come up with. Even harder than picking colours.
