There must be a fair few that have made it to production over the years.
For starters - Kona's Muni Mula (produced 1997 - 2002) named after aluminum spelt backwards. 🙂
Shame it's actually spelt Alumin[b][i]i[/i][/b]um

quick fire on the edit there druidh 😀
I'm sure I don't know what you mean!
Anything by Cove obviously. The legendary wit of calling a bike "Mung", "Donkey-Felcher", "Cockring", "Jism-spattered-tits" and indeed "Viagra Hard-On". Always cracks me up. 😉
BD - there is a seat post clamp called a "cockring" you know 🙂
caustic soda is good.
Not sure how clever it is but stumpjumper is a nice name.
i'm waiting for the Cove Angry Dragon or Cove Donkey Punch
Dialled bikes Kobe Ti. ? Google Kobe Tai (not work safe !)
I've liked Cotic's BFe ~ beefy.
And On-one's Kaffenback ~ caf' and back.
And there was a DOGS B.O.L.X which i think stood for something?
Isn't there a bike/frame called a ****? My mate has one. Its a steel single speed.

S&M prince albert cranks were good, pierced at the end don't you know.
Wasn't there a challenger for the DOGSBLOX called a DONKEYSNOB?
Or was that just teenage wishful thinking?
Used to be a BMX company that made Zima frames.

Weren't they both Yates frames?
Wasn't there a challenger for the DOGSBLOX called a DONKEYSNOB?
Yes there was. Chas Roberts did the DOGS BOLX, Dave yates did the DONKIS NOB
No, I can't remember what DONKIS NOB meant!
🙂
Of course! Roberts. They were quality at the time. I wonder how many are still around.
Yates was the poor relation really. Bloke at work had a Yates Diabolus in red/black fade. Looked nice.
Good name too.
Wasn't there a C.A.T.S. W.I.S.K.A.S too?
The Cove stuff makes me cringe, ideal for teenagers but I am over 20 thanks.
I do like the old SBC names - a certain naivety and innocence to them.
I'm sure there are some genuinely witty component names but I cannae remember them.

TBH I'm not big on such names.

When Humphry Davy first isolated the element he called it aluminum. However as many other elements had the suffix -ium, this was also applied to aluminium on both sides of the atlantic. In the early 20th century the Americans reverted to calling it aluminum, and both descriptions are now accepted by the official body which oversees such things. So neither is right or wrong, and in fact it could be argued aluminum is more correct as that's what Davy called it.
