    After taking my PC to PC World to get it fixed at the weekend, got a few funny looks when it sparked up and they saw four files on the desktop lablled “Sufferfest”, took some explaining that they were cycles training vids!

    Also, when staying with my in-laws, my mother in law handed me a package that had been delivered for me with “Juice Lubes” in big letters over it.

    No doubt there are a few Cove ones??

    A less wordly mate took his wife off with him to buy a new bike.
    She was the one that had to point out to him that the double-entendre nature of the Cove bike he was wanting to purchase…

    late 80’s early 90’s when purple anodized ruled mtb a freind of mine had a mtb related product business that sold millions of goods to the masses through a major highstreet outlet. at its peak he came only one sign off away from releasing a glove called ‘the violater’.

    but then nothing ever can beat the mid 80’s windsurfer from france… the goolie board.

    Not bike related, but explaining to my other half before we were married what Sex Wax was, not helped by the packaging stating ‘Rub it on yer Stick’

    We laugh about it now, but.

    Saracen released a children’s bike once, which had, on the stock listing, the name “Girls 16″ Pink Vibe”

    Hmmm.

    I had to explain to the postman when I had some RS Judy’s delivered back in the late 90’s. Very colourful box with “There’s a Judy in the box” in large text. They were for riding, but definitely were forks and not an inflatable friend.

    not exactly what you were after, but last year we stayed with Bike Verbier. Lucy mentions “Orange Steve” is also staying a couple of nights. Other half says “oh thats funny how people get named after their bikes, we’ve got a mate who’s always been known as Mr.O since he had one 20 years ago”.

    Lucy smiled politely, I pointed that in fact “Orange Steve” was The Mr.O, it being Steve Wade… 😆

    When you call Stif Cycles up, what do they answer the phone with? “Hello, Stif”? Teehee.

    Went riding with a girl I was dating when I was 16, met her dad for the first time after.

    He was into road bikes so had a look at it.

    I was riding a Cove Stiffee.

    Great.

    Imagine my surprise when I saw this.
    Felt embarrassed that I had missed this merger between two big bike players ,a big tool manufacturer and then them locating offshore.
