I'm Getting a Shiny Blue One

I ordered my track bike today! There is a possibility that my size is backordered, but I'm hoping it is not. I was talking to some fellow trackies the other day and here is how the conversation went:

Me: I'm getting a track bike.

Guy: What kind are you getting?

Me: A Blue.

Guy: "Silence with a very strange look"

Me: The brand Blue, not the color blue.

Guy: Oh!


So now the joke is, when someone asks you what kind of bike you are getting you say "I'm getting a shiny 'insert color' one." Or you could be like B and tell everyone you ride a Blue with Red. (That is a Blue road bike with SRAM Red).
