My New Flatty- and she's PINK!!

[Pangie]

Hi there! I've been eyeing the Giant Avail Alliance also, and I was wondering if you ever ended up getting it. I would love some feedback if you have any!

I would never have considered a pink bike. Now I keep coming back to your photo. Rats.

You know, I was never that much into pink. I would NEVER have considered buying a pink bike. Mind you - I would never have considered going WSD back then either, but I have found that I am probably exactly who they make them for!

Then I went out to buy my first ever MTB and the best fit was a Kona Lisa HT (which was pink - seriously pink). The colour of that bike was very nearly the breaking point of that sale, but I finally allowed my head to rule and bought the bike that fitted best.

Since then I have embraced my "pink-ness" and I ended up with a Specialized Era Marathon which was anodised pink when I went for my full suspension rig. So now I have pink jerseys, pink gloves, pink tiara on my helmet at the moment and am known as "pinkbikes." Now all I have to do is find a pink roadie when my DD grows into my current black one!

That is one sweet-looking pinky Running Mommy! Maybe we need to have a thread with pictures of all of our pretty pink bikes. There seem to be lots of pink bike fans and lots of nice pink models out there now!

Just like Good N' Plenty Candy

Perfect analogy!

Sweet bike

I's funny, I always smile when I ride my Coda, my flat bar road bike.
But, for me, my average is a lot slower on that bike. It weighs about twice as much as my roadie. I guess I don't really care when I ride it, since I am just doing errands, meeting someone for lunch, or going on an adventure that does not require speed.

... but she does just fine.
Yes I do notice the harsher ride, but I'm going to change out a few things like the bar and seatpost.

Nice bike indeed!
Can you share how you plan to do the handlebar change? I dislike the vibrations of my current handlebars. I have a newly purchased carbon handlebar set aside for that reason, but I know there are other options. I'd like to hear what you may do.

Aaaack! The bike shop below my office has that very bike and every time I see it, I want it. Keep in mind if you hate the saddle that there's still a white/pink Fizik Vitesse being made.

Glad you're having fun with it. My boss at the pet store bought a bike the other day and she said to me, "Ya know, I couldn't understand how excited you got about bikes until I got one of my own." Yeppa.
