i have to chime in here... because i know a LOT of guys who love pink for the same reasons i do. it's amusing! and by amusing i mean i think it's fun/silly/slightly obnoxious (in the right shade)/kinda pretty.

indy fab's bubblegum pink color option? named after a *dude* mtber (who happened to clean the field at collegiate nats last year-- on a single speed).

one of my best friends just purchased the pink King headset for his very macho black 29-inch single speed (called a "Q-Ball") that has a bottle opener on the back.

another friend of mine, who also owns/rides a Q-Ball, happens to have *another* custom pink single speed (he's a single speed addict, apparently)

even the not-so-fast guys on my team like pink (and don't get slammed for it). one of the guys rode an old pink shwinn on the road for a while. he occasionally took out the end of the paceline when he crashed, but was otherwise tolerated.

aw heck yah! i love hello kitty-- and the whole cult surrounding her. again, pure amusement.

then again, another mtbing buddy rides a pink wsd trek, and loathes the color (she named the bike "the pink wonder," i think to be ironic).

all that said, i currently ride two black bikes. my messenger bag is pink/brown/black, though, and my next mtb will be pink with green flames
