I need to find me some new water bottles!

Not bad at ALL! I highly recommend Polar bottles, by the way. They really help keep your drinks cool. I fill mine up all the way with ice, dump my Cytomax Lite powder in, fill it with water and shake. They aren't cheap, but well worth it. They make several colors, one of which is pink. I really do need to buy another pink one, because I only have one and that's just not right. On long rides I always have one pink and one white. It coordinates, but two pink would be so much better!

I think I need to look into getting some cooler looking pink bottle cages. Mine are pink, but sort of "old fashioned" looking to me. All this talk of accessorizing has got me thinking about that again!

I use these and they work quite nicely. However, I can't seem to find the pink ones in the 20 oz size! The 24 oz bottles are just too big...and I need to replace my blue one because it got moldy and I can't seem to get rid of it :(

Hi, here is what I found looking for white carbon (sort of silver):)
-stem, handlebar, spacers, and waterbottle cages from Token, www.tokenproductsusa.com
-seatpost from Selcof www.selcof.it
I can take some pictures for you if you'd like to see these components.
And now I am debating about getting this saddle... http://www.cbike.com/ProductImages/s...l_s_carbon.jpg
I love my current saddles so I don;t really need it... but this one is so cute - and 122g!!!
:D

OWWWWWWWW! ;) :D :eek:

(Pretty, but for me, would be the ultimate torture device -- no cutout, way too narrow, and no padding whatsoever, no wonder it's light!)

Hee-hee... it must be true that all 'bottoms' are different... For me, anything too padded is a torture device - and anything wider than 130 makes me run away!!! :(
I do like a cutout though :)

Oh man that does look painful! My butt is way too huge for that!

After my ride yesterday I noticed my handlebar tape was coming loose. Shucks, I guess that means I'll have to replace it........with the blue tape I've always wanted:D

I don't even need an excuse, I change mine about once a year. The tape is cheap and the LBS will wrap them (I am not that patient) for cheap. I have had my bike since December 2006 already had black (stock), bright blue and now have dark blue. I will change it again next summer. It makes such a difference in appearance it is almost a new bike everytime. :D

You could get a Pink Terry Butterfly if you need a wide saddle. Not sure which stock saddle your Fuji had but if it is similar to the one my old Fuji had a Butterfly might be similar. Probably a little wider though.

I was thinking the white Terry Carbon Butterfly, but it said something about how it doesn't fit all seat posts...and now I am wondering if it will fit my Madone. The guys at the shop put a white Bontrager inForm R on it...a guy's saddle and I think it is way too narrow. So I am going back and ordering the Bontrager inForm RL in a 160mm. Thank goodness for their comfort guarantee! On my Fuji I have some kind of velo saddle, but that was hurting my girly bits after my metric century.
