Pink Wheels?
To disable ads, please log-in.
Dh and I are discussing how to jazz up the bike I'm eyeing. Didn't someone post a beautiful pink and purple bike a while ago? I thought I saved a photo but can't find it. Any help is appreciated.

Don't know about wheels, but I have purple Michelin Pro Race, and Schwalbe and Continental Grand Prix 3000's, both in hot pink! (The Scwalbe are available right here at TE!)

Would it be Surly's purple Orbea with the pink Velocity rims? The Orbea also comes in pink.

Thats my baby and the rims are by Velocity. You can see them in the pic or you can go to their site. People stop me when I'm riding all the time and tell me how sweet they are. Thanks SadieKate for the link.

Surly, did you see the disc-specific Velocity rims I just bought? I assume the pink is the same as your road rims. Without the braking surface, there is a LOT of pink. They're hanging on the pot rack in the kitchen right now. You know you're in a cylist's house when they have bike stuff hanging in the kitchen.

No - black with flames makes you go faster. Pink makes you get pushed up big hills!
and Surly: I saw your bike outfit this morning (no coveting Cali!) A purple and pink cyling jacket with purple tights and pink gloves. Made me think if you right away my friend!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Hey, I'm getting razzed and I didn't even know it. SadieKate, I saw your gorgeous rims and they look almost the same as mine. Now if the darn rain would just stop I might actually be able to use them.
As for the rest of you wise ** es. I won't mention any names CORSAIRMAC. I do not get pushed up the hills around here, I just take them slowly. The purple is the fast color!!!
The purple tights, pink and purple coat and gloves, well that might be a little much. I don't want to look like someone puked confetti all over me. I am drooling over the new Descente Shelter Jacket at Colorado Cyclist though. It looks purple in the pic. If anyone sees it in real life let me know if its purple or pinkish please.
