New Bike- Which Color?

[nikkoblu2]

OT: my dh's main bike is chunky and matt black. He just bought a used bike for winter commuting. It's white with light blue hearts and swirly lettering that reads "Gekko Jewel" :-D You have to be a real man to ride something like that with panache.

Very cool! Tell DH I'm impressed!

but I have a question: What IS a masculine color???
Little girls have definitely cornered the market on pink and magenta purple, but what colors are boy colors? (and who cares over the age of 12?)
when i was a little girl, ALL bikes for girls were blue... they just were. and boys got the red bikes. So I claim red, pink, orange, blue, green and yellow. All of the generation x and y girls can also claim white, silver (Titanium) and black... did i forget one? well, there's celeste (Bianchi color!!! )

I'm a painter and maybe that's why I am such a color freak.. but really, do pick a color you can live with...

Get the bike that FITS the best. Frames can always be painted.
