and they absolutely do not fit.
You are right. I will really have to pimp out my next bike. OR.. I need to paint my bianchi more appropriately

pimped-out bikes!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Mimosa posted a pic of a fabulous pimped-out bike in Amsterdam (in the "would you park a Gazelle" thread).
And then I found this one!
I've always loved this one from 3speedblog, though I'm not sure if it actually qualified as "pimped out."
It makes me want to pimp out my bike because my bike is so BORING. (A man at Starbucks yesterday said something about me having a nice bike and I thanked him, but I wondered why he said it. It's a pretty ordinary-looking bike. Last time somebody commented on it, it was because he liked the Brooks seat. And prior to that the only comments were from people who noticed it didn't have a chain.)
But as mimosa pointed out in the other thread, pimped out bikes are usually bikes that were bought used/cheap. And I wouldn't know how to do that, plus I don't think we have room in our living room for three bikes. (!!!) Well, not if we want to see the television.
So, do you have a pimped out bike, or do you have any pics? I'd love to see some more.

OMG. There must be 200 spokes in the rear wheel of that bike (trike). Obviously a custom drilled hub and rim. Wonder how much weight that bike is meant to carry.

I wondered -- but I think that's a protestant cross. No "hanging Jesus," not to be confused with "hanging Chad."
I know, I know. Sue me.
Heh.

I can't access the "pimped out bike" site from work
Don't know whether the firewall detects bike porn, or it's the reference to pimps....I'm going to have a hard time explaining this to the "men in the black suits" when they come to my desk
