13. Poor. I am ashamed.
12. Worse. I’m more ashamed.
14 - you two SHOULD be ashamed if I beat you
13. Grrr. I'm sure some were before my time though. 😀
17 ? How did that happen? 🤔
You got 21/22 correct!
The one I got wrong surprised me, so I just Googled it; there was a model called that, so it's 22/22. I'm a sad, sad bike nerd.
Another 13...
19. Bit disappointed.
Another one on 13.
15 - poor. Thought I’d selected “we made it up” too often, so guessed instead on some. A mistake!
13. Thought I'd do better.
The answer to the "Rattler" question is wrong, a quick bit of Googling reveals a BSO with one of those brands on it. And UK readers might not know that "butte" is pronounced to rhyme with "newt", so the marketing team responsible for that one probably still kept their jobs. That aside, bike names are generally pretty dire, aren't they?

Thought so. 20 for me.
I have definitely seen some Giant Buttes while out on the trails........
19 for me, I got the Butte one wrong. Although when I do own a bike company, I'm going to have a model called the Sisyphus.
i got the mountain bike names correct. including road bikes in the quiz was low
Although when I do own a bike company, I’m going to have a model called the Sisyphus.
i’m going to have one called Syphilis. it will be the road bike.
14....actually fairly happy with that, that was tougher than expected!
17. Not too bad.
Just 11!
I’m happy that this is proof that I spend more time riding my bike than reading about them.
I’m slightly disappointed as I thought I was a bit of a bike geek.😀
16, more than I expected to be honest.
4. Whoops.
I’m happy that this is proof that I spend more time riding my bike than reading about them.
Yeah, I resemble that accusation. If I spent as much time riding as reading about bikes then I'd be a contender.
I could've been somebody, I tells ya!
BRIAN. That’d be a good name for a bike…solid and dependable. You’d have to wear a sensible jumper on it though, something subtle.
11 for me but if the Johnson was made by one of those brands it would have had a whole other meaning in America
16. I need to get out more
19, didn't know the Butte or the Bantam existed. Hey ho.
13 but at least 5 we’re guesses.
16! Happy with that
Another 13, which demonstrates that I don't need a life sending in the post!
10, and TBH most of those were guesses!
13 but OK with that. Most were from brands I have basically no interest in.
13, seems a popular number
13 with +1 for rattler if Google beats Singletrack
12.
