Please help me make my men's bike look more girly ;)

Thank you - and also for that link to the fenders! I worry pink parts on their own (cables and cages) might not be subtle enough...that it'll look like a boy's bike that I'm trying to make look like a girl's bike - hahaha (oh YEAH - that IS what I'm doing)! I was thinking - though admittedly haven't finished thinking it through - if I concentrate more on minimizing the black and maybe adding little touches of pink when coupled with red (e.g. pink and red decor on one item and then maybe on another item with pink and red in it), that the pink won't stand out so awkwardly. Am I over-thinking this just a little?

pink water bottle cages & break cables. That would be a good start. Nice girly bell with a heart on it.

I was passing by a fishing store the other day, and was looking at some of their overly sparkly fabulous lures in the window. IDK how much they cost, but if they're cheap enough I might go back and buy them for bar-end streamers for my mixte.

OH I forgot, Soma makes pink fenders. Yeeeeesssssss

If so - you've come to the right place. Have fun

Thanks Iph! I didn't expect it to be so fun here...but it is.

Oh no. Spoke too soon? I just read "this forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts." How will I ever write back to everyone at that rate? As it is, there are long waits after I hit the 'submit reply' button. MAN I wish this site were a little more user-friendly.

My mountainbie is a white and black mens model. I added a white womens-saddle, purple flatbars, limegreen grips, a purple seatclamp and pink valvecaps. I'm thinking about adding colored pedals.
It looks really girly now

Great ideas here. I would also accessorize bringing out more red and white. That said your bike of red white & black is very sharp looking. As you can see in my profile those are the colors of my bike and mine is a women't geometry. I have white with some red and black bottle cages on mine, my under seat bag although it is black the ties are red. My husband thought of putting red tape but to be honest I like the bike just as it is. My most recent compliment was that I had a "hot" bike
