your choice... pastels/colours/black - what colour bike do you want to ride! POLL

[Crankin]

Color never once entered into my decision in buying a bike. I was buying the bike, not a "look." Maybe I am weird?
My road bike is red, black, with a little white. My fun, around town Jamis is royal blue.
My mtb is a very plain chocolate brown.
Now that I have a red bike, I finally got the red shoes to match. But other than that, color does not enter into any bike decisions for me.
Now clothes for the bike, that's a different story.
I am the same way with cars.

Where is "all of the above"? And why is it assumed that pink is a pastel or feminine? My cross bike is hot bubblegum pink and a ton of guys have said they want it. There were some dang hot racer bodies sporting T-Mobile pink for a while (OK, let's not get into the drug problems).
