When I was looking for my bike I categorically refused to get anything pink or purple or excessively "girlie." I wanted something black and sleek...kind of like the one you are looking at (but I agree with whoever it was that said the handlebars and seat should be black). However, while helping me research, my husband came across an amazing deal on a Bianchi Volpe....The bottom line was it offered the versatility I was looking for at a great price. The catch? I pretty much thought it was hideous. Until I found out the NAME of the color is gang-green. I decided that was awesome enough to overcome the ugliness. While patting myself on the back for managing to get over that hurdle, it arrived (we ordered it online) and I was horrified to realize it has leopard print on the back of the seat!!! (SO not me) I suppose I could switch that out if I really wanted to, but I've come to be proud of my girl and I now derive a strange sort of pride in her colors. SO...if it's the bike you want for the price you want, you can get past the color and even come to LOVE it.
