Queen Anne, Betty Ribble, Surly Shirley and, err, Stumpy all reside in my garage and/or the back room.
Anne and Betty were so named so I could remember which one was A and B on my old cateye computer because of the different wheel sizes. It caught on from there.

Don't really name them. If people ask I give them the name of the person who helped me build them.

Previous bike was called Duncan - On-One 456
Current bike is called Colin - Salsa Horsethief
