You absolutely positively need pink tires! I have Continental GP3000's in 'magenta' (pink to me!) and the Schwalbe pinks that I bought right here from Team Estrogen. It will balance out the look by having pink lower down on the bike. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Okay, you also need the pink Polar bottles too.
And the new pink Speedplay pedals.

is it... possible to have too much pink?
To disable ads, please log-in.
So I needed to change seat, stem, handlebars on my roadbike. I wanted an Arione, and saw that it came in... **pink**... Of course this meant I had to have pink. Well I just got it back from the shop (needed a new bb that took 3 weeks to come in), I had them do the pink tape... And I'm not sure what I've done
Here's the before:
And the after --
I'm way excited about my new smaller handlebars (decided on Ritchey Pro Biomax, went from the stock 42 bars to 38s), hopeful that the shorter stem will improve my position, and the Thomson seatpost is just pretty (& I can use the setback), but I'm not so sure about all of the pink... The bike, unfortunately, is not gorgeous to begin with (someday...). But woah, it's a lot of pink. And the pink is BRIGHT. Is it horrible?

No, I like it, it jazzes the bike up. It was looking a little bland, it not overdone. jmo. Happy riding Jennifer
I want to spruce up my road bike w/ diff handlebar tape or something. it is silver w/ black and yellow trimwork. It needs some more yellow or a marble grey, black, yellow tape. pondering the thought.

I have added some color to my scoot, cept in orange. I like the colors. Go for the pink tires. If you are going pink, go all the way.

The pink details on the silver bike REALLY improve its looks. Gives it a lot of class and personality.
SOuthern Belle, let's see a picture of your scoot?
PLEASE?

The pix of my new bars with my orange Salsa tape is down I think in gear and accessories. I just put the new tires on yesterday. They are orangey/yellow. I am contemplating orange bottle cages, but haven't yet gone there. Probably will.

It looks good. Wow...you must be a speed demon! Your bars are quite a bit lower than your saddle. Very aero.

of course next time you need new rims there are always Velocitys too..... they come in a range of colors including pink.

Go with the pink. You only live once! (It will fade a little bit, anyway.)
The black trim was a little dull. Easy to find your bike during group rides and in photos!
