    Did you see them in actual real person? I've seen photos, but not in person.

    Yup, in person, at the place where I got my bike. BF even took a look at them today and made fun of how cheap looking they are. They look and feel so...plasticky. But to each their own! I went to PV Cyclery today and the guy told me that Specialized has some nice bottle holders that are pearly white with pink accents. He told me that they are part of the Susan G. Komen line, but he wasn't so sure. He will call me back on Tuesday to see if he can get some for me.

    I don't know how these look in real life, but take a look:

    They look like the bontrager ones, but are cheaper in price.

    and the carbon ones:

    The carbon ones are mainly black but have a pink stripe.

    I might try those, but I'm worried they're too dark of a pink as well. They don't look like it on Amazon, but they do on the pic you sent.

    I was in my LBS this afternoon, and they still have the ones I have on my bike. So...they can still be gotten

    Let me know if you find anything. I wonder if I forked out the money for the more expensive lighter weight one's if I could find some lighter COLORED one's as well. Just a thought. Haven't bothered to look into it yet and, if I did that, probably wouldn't do it until next season.

    I have them, and like them. They're on my Surly Cross Check.

    Not sure if my shop still carries them or not - I bought them a year or so ago.

    I realized today that my friend has the Bontrager bottle cages and I'm not sure it's quite what I want. A little TOO pink for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I do like the wider look to them, as opposed to mine, which have very skinny bars.
