Oh lord... I've done it now!

[bikerchick68]

Yep, I'm gonna get laughed at... and I'm guessing I'll get some looks that run between outraged and appalled... maybe some shakes of the head too...

you see I just put my brand new PINK Terry Butterfly breast cancer saddle and PINK bartape on my Litespeed... :eek: :D It's somewhere between totally awesome and absolutely horrific and I love it! :p It'll be easy for forumites to see me now on event rides anyway... ;)

I can't wait to drop some bike snob who pokes fun at my pretty girl bicycle... :D

Hey, you didn't see me last week on my pink cross bike with pink Sidis and pink jersey! Pink Power!!

Many eons ago my husband was hiking up and down the Silver Creek (a blue ribbon, far and fine, trout stream) looking for me. He finally asked someone if he had seen me. The guy's response was a grumpy "if she's the one in the pink hat catching all the fish, she's down there!"

Pink Power!!

pink streamers.
remember that the more annoyed others get the more fun it will be for you.

[SadieKate]

Ooh, good one, Irulan. BikerChick - add some pearls while you're at it. Jackie Phelan would approve.

[Irulan]

too bad it's not a mtb, you could the pink Chris King hubs and headset on it too.

I should talk, I just bought a bunch of pink wicking supplex to make something very bright out of , dunno what yet.

sorry Irulan that was my bad - I mean the pixs of the pink saddle and bar tape!!


but I DO want to see pixs of whatever you make with the pink material...I may have to switch my lust from V's cashmere jersey to whatever you have! :p

[Irulan]

soooooooooooo where are the pixs???

By the by, what brand of pink tape did you find?

[bikerchick68]

OMG! Pearls and streamers... :D :D :D I gotta add that now of course! And maybe some kind of flower power horn... hahahahhahaha!

And Sadie, the fish story... that must've steamed the guy to be outfished by some little woman in pink! :D

I got the pink bartape at a one of my LBS... dang, can't remember the brand, but it's the T-mobile stuff... if ya need some let me know and I can get it and ship and you can just send me a check... it's the ONLY place I've ever seen it... called Hi-Tech Bikes, a pretty high end store (they have a $10,000 road bike hanging from the ceiling! :eek:)

I'll get a pic soon and post it... promise...

Massbikebabe showed me the way to this site. They have pink and puple too.
Thanks Karen, now if I only had my bike. ;)

I also saw pink at Bike Alley this weekend and two shades of cinelli purple.

There is also a review over at girlbike.com.

Pink is fab-u-lous!!!!

[SadieKate]

Do you think this is going overboard?

Hmm, didn't know SOMA made tape. I might have to check that out. And, if I ever go to San Diego Hi-tech Bikes is on the field trip list. Bubba was seriously looking at a Merlin they had on sale a few months back but wrong size by 1 cm. :(

[Irulan]

lots of pink sock options too! One of the gals at camp had some pink PMS socks, there are the Hottie socks, Bad Kitty socks....

[SadieKate]

Don't forget the pink Eggbeater Quattro's and the pink tires on TE. Terry has pink "Ride Like A Girl" socks. BikerChick, we are going to have you all decked out and stylin'!

Speaking of a horn . . . .

[slinkedog]

My 3 year old has a horn on her trike (actually a squeaker) that is a pink pig. I think you really need one, bikerchick!

[PurpleJADE]

It's a good thing Jan hasn't found out about pink streamers yet, everyone knows they make you go faster.....
Pink tights-he'd be unstoppable! :D

Funny color, pink. A few years ago most of my woman teammates were riding deadly, dark Cannondales and made lots of jokes about my "pink bike". They all thought I was in serious need of an update. I updated the paint, same color with decals that are actually stayin on. Now I have purple Michelin ProRace tires, too. They look a little odd til you put on sun glasses and then the colors are perfect together. When the girls make fun, I drop them or go ride with the boys. Pink is Purdy!

[trigurl]

I LOVE PINK :D it has always been my favorite color!!!!! I have been thinking about finding someone to paint my bike pink! I also had the LBS looking for pink bar tape and they couldn't find any, woohooo, now I know where to get it.

I love the pink bar bag, that is too cool, and pink streamers? I was considering them but thought I would really get ignored then, but who cares? the horn would be fun! I am kinda quirky that way, I love that stuff, I might not get a training partner tho if I had all that stuff :rolleyes:

I remember riding one day early this year, when I still had my hybrid, and a roadie went by me of course I waved, he never acknowledged me! kinda ticked me off, then a man was headed my way on a comfort bike and as he got near me he was just a waving and ringing his bell and saying hi, I waved back and thought how much fun he was having just being out there riding! it made my day and the ride back up the mtn wasn't quite as bad.

[Surlygirl]

[bikerchick68]

OMG! I'm on the Crisis Intervention team with SDPD too! A pink PIG :D :D :D :D :D oh that's too much!

AMG- that bell is cool too!

Love those ride like a girl socks too... hmmm... I'm gonna have to get all decked out... I have a century planned for July, Aug and Sept! Could be fun to mess with all the hard core racers by having streamers and a pretty pink bell! :D ;)

I had no idea there was so much pink stuff!

OH! and Sadie... if you guys come down, let me know... I have 2 guest rooms and an alarm on the house! Makes it safe to have the bike... :)

[Surlygirl]

Thanks Spazz, just had a weak moment there. ;)

[SnappyPix]

You girls are hilarious!
Can just imagine Bikerchick eating up, and spitting out, a die-hard blokey club-cyclist, leaving him to chew on gravel and streamers, as she pedals off into the distance, a pink vision on the horizon!!
