I'm curious about the bars - how wide are they? I ride with 38's & have had a tough time finding carbon ergo bars that small. Tellmetellme!

I have the pink Schwalbe tires, but Continental also makes their Grand Prix 3000's in pink. Excuse me -- Magenta, or they might be listed as T-Mobile colors. I've ridden those quite a bit and love them.
You also need the pink Polar Bottles.
And, of course, the pink Candy's pedals, or the new pink Speedplays that I'm lusting over.

Handlebars
IFJane - they are 42 wide - seems too wide for you - sorry - I am not sure what the spec handlebar on the Diva is - it would be narrower for sure - just not sure how narrow. I am 5' 9" and have long legs and a shorter torso. I did notice that the drop position for me - descending - is a little uncomfortable - I am either going to move the hoods down a little - or make some shims to bring the levers in closer - I had the same problem on my Trek bike - and the shims were great. I am in the mountians - so I spend a lot of time climbing and descending.
Wow - those pink cables are eye-catching.
Thanks for all of the tire suggestions - I am hoping Santa will put them under my tree.

I agree! This bike's theme song is "Ooh, foxy lady."

Debi - thanks for the feedback on the bars. Yes, they would be much too wide for me. I, too, live in an area where I do a lot of climbing (at the foot of the Blue Ridge) but I am also rather small & have short arms & torso. I have been looking for 30 carbon ergo bars & no one seems to be making them yet.

It's gorgeous!
I love the black and white with your own added pink accents! It's similar to my Specialized in that regard. I was also going to suggest pink water bottles, but with those cages, it might be overkill.

That's one gorgeous bike! Though I'm not a big pink fan either, your pink accents really jazz her up nicely. And of course, you'll dress in pink as well, right?

Gorgeous ! ! !
Oh, my, she is ab-so-lutely gor ge ous! I rode an Orbea at Chainwheel in Little Rock- at Thanksgivng- it was several steps below the Orca- but so fast- like lightning in a can.
