I love it! I put pink bottle cages on my new Roubaix Pro and got pink Crank Brother's platform pedals. Where did you find pink bar tape? I am halfway serious when I tease my bike shop guys that I want to send the Roubaix off and have the frame painted pink. For several reasons: 1)no one will steal a pink bike with no label, who's to know it is a carbon fiber bike! 2) pink is my favorite color and 3) since I bike with men and am the only woman I try hard to keep my feminine side showing! :p

I've held off on the pink Terry saddle because right now the I love the Avatar saddle I put on the bike (women's specific rather than the Avatar it came with). I hate to change something if it fits.

corsair... yes, SHE is... LOL... I keep referring to her as a "her" now... I had previously named her Raoul... she had black and grey bar tape and a black saddle... and she was sleek and sexy and stiff... now, she is apparently cross dressing... :eek: :D time to rename her!!! :p

I have to admit I am slowly going to the pink side as well! My bike is grey with pink highlights. So far I have two pink water bottle cages, three pair of pink socks, one pink shirt and pink reflectors. I thought about the pink seat but had just bought a new seat that I really like. When I do change the bar tape . . . I just might go pink too! :rolleyes:

whine, I want pink bar tape!!! love it, you could use pink tires now!!

I just put yellow bar tape in mine, I figure maybe that makes me more visible, am thinking about getting yellow tires too, a yellow Lemond passed me last night with yellow tires, he was very visible.
