What shall I name her?

[RST Scout]

Nearly there!

Now I need to name her. So far it's down to either Georgina (Famous Five adventurer) or Scout (I'm reading "To Kill a Mockingbird at the moment and also the green reminds me of cub-scout uniforms).
Come on everyone put your thinking caps on; more options required, please.

Most of my bikes have first names of "The" followed by the brand or model.

I made a really sincere attempt to name "The Nomad" Seymour (a pun...See-More), but so far it hasn't fully adhered.

I really must practice using it more. Seymour-SeeMore! 

I like Scout, Janet. A good, solid name that beings Adventuring to mind.

So excited and happy for you!

All the best,

Dan.

Showing my age here, but 'Dr Cameron' would go well with Janet 

I would add that on my RST I frequently switched between Panaracer Pasela Folding 26 x 1.75 and Marathon Supremes 26 x 1,6 ... and I preferred the Paselas for ride speed and comfort. 

Compass tyres [made by Panaracer] are an enhanced version of Paselas, but are much more expensive ... diminishing returns and all that.

Enjoy your new bike Janet.

Thanks guys for your kind sentiments.
I'm afraid that I am also of an age to remember Dr Finley's Casebook so I get the reference. I have to say I'm favoring 'Scout' at the moment. But I'm still open to alternatives.

Re tyres. I like Schwalbe Marathons (not the Plus). I've got them on two of my bikes and like them - no punctures! The new bike has Schwalbe Marathon Racers already on it. I'll give them a go and see how i like them.

Here's the mountain bike. She's called 'Enterprise' as I'm a Trekkie. Handmade in 531 ATB d/b Reynolds tubing, 531ST forks, 24 inch wheels, Araya Rims 24x1.75 but I have 1.50" tyres on at the moment which I like.  SunTour Mountech front and rear. Old Maddison Ladies L1 saddle. She was all red at one time but because she got so many scratches on her, I used Black Hemerite on the forks and rear!

And the Brompton is called Charlie. Haven't done anything to him since I got him early 2003/4. He needs a new chain because he keeps throwing it but new bike comes first and I will be completely skint(broke) when pay the final balance in 2 weeks time. Can't wait.

Janet
I've also got an aluminium Marin City Kentfield (hybrid), a Raliegh Weekender Lady (my old tourer), a Carrera TDF Limited Edition Women’s 2014 Road Bike and a full suspension(cheap) mountain bike soon to be put up for sale. Don't know if I've got photies of all these but I'll look.
