SadieKate, you totally underestimate the size of my frillies. I have enough fabric to get twisted over color, over type bike, over geometry, over availability of matching jerseys!

Oh, and love that bike! (By the way there are so many shades of pink. I've seen some pink bikes that I thought looked hot and some that I wouldn't ever want. I tend to love strong colors, jewel tones.)
And I'm amazed nobody has made that Ruby Slipper Bike.

Too bad there's not a "mooning" emoticon, SadieKate.
Just use your imagination.

Sorry I couldn't resist!
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

Ar, ar, ar... cracks cracking you up mooning
As for Orange, it's not WSD, but I fell in love with this bike when I first saw IT, it's actually a strong duo tone

It's all fine and good for people to enjoy girly colored rides. However! It seems everyone is honing in on pink and orange.
I do not care if you ride in pink or orange or any other "girl-esque" colorings, but I wish for something a little more, how could I put this... business professional.
I like dark, hazy colors, like a Sunset Burnt Orange, or Deep Red, Metallic Pewter, or Steel. Why don't womens bikes come in these? I am all for supporting the making of WSD cycles, but please please come in more choices for those of us not wanting Sea Urchin Purple hues or Butterfly Blue (i am making these names up, though I highly doubt they don't exsist on some WSD bike already).
/laugh already, people.

Pooks buy a bike that fits you and that you like the ride of. Don't worry about the color - As I posted above, that is what I did and I have a pink and carbon bike. Not my fave but it is what it is. Too bad people are not supposed to have an opinion on this forum!

I'm sure I'll buy a bike that fits, perhaps THE bike that fits.
But while the world is my oyster, I can dream, right?

What's wrong with Orange?
My bike is Orange and all the guys drool over it. Seriously, the guys all think my bike is cool. Since I am new to all of this, I'm still not really sure why.
I have had two guys ask if I am selling it anytime soon. One guy just wanted to buy my rims. One guy who says he has been riding a bike for 50 years stood by my bike outside the CO-OP just to see who would come out and claim the bike. The bike has been whistled at and flirted with!!
Seriously, I never get this type of attention when I am not with the bike.
Orange is a serious color!!

Close enough? I think you'd be very happy with one of the Gunnar models. So pull your shorts back up. It's blinding.
