While she's teal, my Giant doesn't look terribly girly. The black bar tape and saddle (as opposed to the white that was on the internet) help.
I want an orange or red bike as my next go-fast bike. Or, if I went insane and had $8,000 to spend on a bike, I could get a 6 Series Madone... (Yes, I'm playing with the Project One thing right now...)
Re componentry vs. colors: I've certainly noticed it with Giant. The year I bought my bike, you could get the Avail 3 in teal or in gold (which looked kind of tacky, IMO). The 1 came in green or red. This year, the 3 comes in sky blue or black/"sangria", which is a deep red-purple. The 1 comes in white or orange. The carbon version comes in black. I've noticed it too with Cannondale, but not to the same extent.
