So am I the only one here who doesn't care about the color if the price is right?

No, you're not alone. I really wanted an orange bike, but ended up with white because it was a deal (and the only frame by the maker I wanted in my size in the US). Once I saw it in person, I loved the white, but it wasn't my first choice.

@ Irulan,I agree! both my bikes colors were chosen for me by the bike maker (whatever he had left over that other people didn't want, thus the GREAT discount), what I really cared about was the group, components, etc, if you give me some great shimano dura ace, I don't care what the color is! First bike was UGLY orange, but it worked!

Me 2~~ is it categorizing females to even assume we care? It's okay if you do, of course!

Wait! Wait!
If the price is right for the Titus demo bike you bet i'm a getting it!!! I know it's pink but i'm sure I can repaint it
I normally try & stay away from pink stuff but in this case it might not be possible...

I have to say I was really glad my Gary Fisher fit me because the brown Trek Fuel WSD design from last year totally didn't make me giddy. It looked like my Pawpaw's Delta 88 from the early 80's, so of course the bike looked heavy and slow. Luckily my black Fisher with pink accents fit me and made me happy to look at. I guess I could have gotten used to the Pawpaw bike, at least it would have made me think of my dear Pawpaw who I miss.
Besides I am too cheap (thrifty?) to waste money repainting a brand new bike because I don't like the color, my preference not that I blame someone who does.

Here's another who will buy the best bike for the best price regardless of color. Having said that, my bianchi is a light bianchi green (I think it was girlified), but it has black accents so it looks fast, and my commuter is 'custard', read pale yellow, but sassed up with green accents. I guess both my bikes are in the pastel-y range, but they are both a little sassy with their accent colors. I am not sure how I would feel about a high end super sweet road bike in pastel pink - I mean, if you're giving one away, okay, but other than that...
