    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    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!

    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.
    Ever notice that 'what the hell' always seems to be the best decision?

    WOW!!!.......she sure is purty!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    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... time to rename her!!!

    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!

    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.
