my bike's pink, as was my mountain bike. i sold it (stumpjumper) to a guy at work who wouldnt take possession til it was re-painted black. i like the constant comments from guys about my pink madone. no name, no gender for my bike, its such a part of me. mini-me?
My Aegis Swift is on Crystal's Pink Bikes page. It's really more "black raspberry" than pink. I built it in early 2004, and Crystal put it on her page that year. I'm really not riding it at the moment. I'm doing more running and mountain biking, and when I do road ride, it's on my Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe (utility rides to the market and such). The Aegis is a lovely bike, but I'm just not doing go-fast rides like I used to, since my accident in 2005. I can't bring myself to sell it, though!

I have two *red* bikes now... but I don't reckon that counts at all. If I ride 'em a *lot* in the sun, maybe they'll fade?
You are all such enablers!! If I had an extra $4k lying around I would have it. ;)Quote:

Emily - your aegis is beautiful!!
She's not totally pink but more than enough for some people.
Hi everyone - thanks Trek420 for posting about my site over here!
I loved looking through the photos posted here, and I really hope you will all send them to me to post on pinkbikesite, too. I love the pink accented Surly (my Long Haul Trucker is pink accented, too), and SJCzar... I totally need to put yours up, so please let me know if I can do that. I've been thinking of doing a "bike of the week" or something on the front page, and that one is definitely a winner.
Even though I haven't been able to ride other than on the trainer, it is such a joy to be doing something fun in the cycling community again. :)
Thanks!

SJCzar -- your bike is SO COOL! I love it!
CA -- Thanks! I got the Aegis frame on Ebay for a song (it was a leftover 46 cm frame I bought from a small LBS in California) and had it built up with Campy Chorus. It's a lovely bike. If I had the time and motivation to do club rides, I'd still be riding it, but my lifestyle has changed so much since then. I do so many different things now besides riding that it's just gathering dust, sadly. I think my problem is partly emotional/psychological -- since that's the bike I had my accident on, it feels a bit jinxed.

I know I'm a couple days late in responding here, but I have a pink and black cannondale synapse. I even have pink and black shoes to match <gag> lolol:p
PS....the shoes were not bought with the intention of wearing them whilst riding the bike...they are just cute.
Kristen, I have got to see those shoes!
SJCzar's beautiful Trek is up on my front page. :-)

I'm behind the curve on this one, too (as well as everything else lately :)), but just sent Crystal a photo of my pink-purple-pearl white steel Merckx Corsa Extra. Glad to see she's having fun with the pink bike page again.
SJCzar, your polka-dot Trek is just amazing -- I love it!
