is it... possible to have too much pink?

[VeloVT]

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?

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.

I like the new look.

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?

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.

Oooo! That looks very nice, and I'm not a fan of 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!

um, that's pink alright

if you like it, that's all that matters

Yes, it is possible to have too much pink.

don't worry though, you're not there yet!

I think your bike looks awesome.

Of course I have a pink bike.

Now I will have to think about getting pink tires and rims. I am eying the pink saddle pack on TE, thinking of replacing my smaller black one, then got to thinking all of this Oregon rain might just get a pink saddle pack real dirty.

And of course I have a lot of pink bike clothing.

Seriously, your bike looks beautiful.

I have the same saddle and bar tape on my bike, and I LOVE it! Last year, these were on my race bike (a blue Cannondale), and I often got comments on the pink at races (and racers who recognized me BECAUSE of the pink).

I have a new ride for racing this year that is black and red, so I moved all of the pink to my TT bike - maybe it will make me go faster .

If you like it and it makes you happy, that's all that matters! I love it.
