I have always loathed those ” edgy” but childish bike names – stiffy, inbred etc
Good call. I could almost never have ridden a Kona for that very reason. And a few other names as well. Just juvenile. Like they were named especially for the pages of MBUK.

A mate has a huge one of these. I have had to go round and borrow it when my own tool has proved inadequate.
Much to my wife's amusement.
The owners of this fancy office furniture store may have been Seinfeld fans...
Sick Bicycles?
Says it all really.
Ionis Pharmaceuticals were forced into a bit of a rebrand in 2015...

Yeah, Cinder Cone, lolz. Fire mountain ROFL, Stinky LMAO.
Not.
Dunno what you're seeing that everyone else isn't.
Does he mean Cove?

It was the Stinky I was thinking of. But it looks like I’m batting zero tonight, so I’ll just head to bed now.

Well, you can call me childish then*, ‘cos I’ve still got a Handjob frame out in the shed, I had a Hummer for a while, sold the frame and built up one of two Inbreds I currently own, the bits from the Handjob went onto the other.
*Don’t bother, ‘cos I just don’t care.
Has anyone ever went to a bike shop and asked about a hand job?
See above.

Kona bike names are almost all based around Hawai’i and volcanos, Cove bike names are what they are because they’re Canadian, I don’t think they really cared much about MBUK.
Don't think the Kona Sex One / Sex two were anything to do with volcanos.
How about the Toyota Urban Cruiser. If the car you drive says something about you, then well....
Hyundai Terracan. I know what they tried to do but I just read it as Terror Can.
I was surprised the first time I came across a piece of Wayne Kerr test equipment.
They didn't even have the decency of being an american company.

Specialized - Ubiquitous would be closer to the truth.
Giant - other sizes also available.
Trek - or if you don't want to walk maybe use a bike.
There used to be an Eastern European kayak company called Zelezny kayaks, who had some brilliant names. The best was their creek boat, the 'Zelezny Spunt'.
Goblin vacuum cleaners. I had a Goblin Pixie. I thought it would make the ideal mythical creature. A friend had a Goblin Rio. She said it would be a good name for a film.
Back in the day, diet confectionery.
Aydes.
Who doesn’t love a Goblin Teasmade in their hotel room?
OK, so it pre-dates the film, but Schindler Elevators. Probably should rebrand, just like the World Taekwondo Federation reluctantly had to.
Why rebrand from schindler?
Being on Schindlers list was generally a goid thing wasn't it?

Rather specialised film IMO.

Oh well that rules out Curtis as well then #metalsex
Or maybe, just maybe, look at it as of its time, a time when people were less prudish and could have a laugh about these things. 24bikes are certainly on the revisionist naughty step. Should probably shut this place down too #kyliefriday. Some of us were in our late teens and early 20s when this stuff was coming out, it was a much more fun time than now where everything is aimed at the middle management crowd and their associated price tax.

Well there was more than the film but they’ve been around long before that Schindler too, no need to rebrand.

The fact that the Kona logo is a stylised anus?
The fact they have a Stinky and used to have based Sex One and Sex Two?
Some of the best are car names.
Juke.
Bentayga.
Bongo Friendee.
The Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard wants a word.
eing on Schindlers list was generally a goid thing wasn’t it?
Schindler's Lift, no? Or is that the joke?
See previous answer to near identical point.
When I lived in Provence, the pizza van would turn up in the village square every Thursday evening. Proper wood fired oven, freshly built pizzas, bottles of flavoured oils etc.. Superb set up and gorgeous food.
Just the business name emblazoned across the van was a bit off putting PIZZA FANNY

Too late in the week for me.
Kona is phonetically c*nt in Portuguese (with a c, and there's no direct translation so it's not clear if it's the really c word or another slang word for it, but my Portuguese neighbour says it's not a word to use in company)
I saw a video of rip off MTB products. Can't remember where but he was comparing pedals. I think the legit product was RaceFace the Ripoff was ****er!

Lol, I was referring to the Kona point, as you were!
Just had an ebike advert come up on YouTube – the Baby Maker.
Having watched the TT video it must be a spoof!
Wright Hassall is pretty bad for any company, particularly one in legal

Did they offer a hairy clam pie?

Having seen the size of there offices, it doesn’t seem to be doing them any harm at all...been under that name since 1875.
The trainer that Umbro released years ago now named the Zyklon ranks right up there.
Thankfully they pulled it before they got to revision b..,.....
