Need help accessorizing my new bike please

Oh, and when did men become fashion divas?! My t-shirt-and-jean-wearing husband just built a new bike. It's black carbon fiber with red and gray stripes. He spent days searching for wheels that would match (he found them and they are perfect!) We went on a two day ride and he refused to put a water bottle holder on his bike until he could find a black carbon fiber one with red accents (he found one!) Seriously? The lbs owner was complaining that the new Trek models are coming in with silver stems and they only have black stems in stock. He said, "we would have had a real problem if I needed to change your stem, because I don't have one that would match." WOW. Seriously?

I KNOW!! BF is the same! Everything has to match. But oh well, all the better for me, because he doesn't put any limitations on whatever I would need to make my bike look smoking.

If only he could understand my need for certain purses and shoes...sigh

Beautiful bike, and great deal! I was told 'shades' of pink are the new thing as well. Have fun accessorizing!

My saddle is a Terry Damselfly, by the way. They make it in both black and white as well.

It's occurred to me that some men are probably better dressed while riding than at any other time, with all the color-coordinated kits and accessories.

Yeah, OK, the same could probably be said about me, too.
