    That bell is adorable.

    How different we all are! I would love a red-black-white bike, since red is my favorite color. Alas, they don't exist in entry-to-mid-level WSD frames most of the time.

    Accessorizing your bike in coordinating colors, as others have said, is probably the best way to "girlify" your bike--most guys would probably just go for black everything. Personally, I'd go with red and white, unless you hate red--those are easy colors to match and lots of things exist in those colors. A red saddle bag (the one Muirenn linked to looks fun!), perhaps, and those heart cog reflective stickers are cute. White or red bottle cages?

    Remember, red ones go faster!
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I would go with red bar tape, a red seat, red bottle cage and handlebar plugs , red bell , rack, and then fashion coordinate my jerseys, sock and shorts accordingly.

    I ride a blue trek pilot 5.2 which is a mans bike and the closest I have ever come to doing anything even vaguely stylish, coordinated or girly matching is to insist on blue bar tape and add a silly blue bell. But that is just me, I also wear my hair in a very short buzz and only wear black shorts so I can spit on my hands and wipe my hands off on my legs. I do however love jerseys with orange or orange and other color combinations and a majority of my socks are orange and red so who's to say.

    Whichever way you go you willl have fund shopping and accessorizing.

    What's a girl to do?
    I'm sorry... what's the problem? 5 bells? Seems like one for each day of the week. Actually, I think the REAL problem is you need to find two more bells to cover Saturday and Sunday.
