New (used) bike, want to make it mine

**LovelyGirl** · 07-09-2012, 12:46 PM

I did just score one of those from amazon.com! http://www.amazon.com/Inertia-Design...ds=Inertia+bag

I got the pink bottle cage as well. But I am just striking out on the bar grips. I need a pink and gray grip, not ugly solid pink like I tried first. Hideous.

Cute! Cinelli makes a pink/grey/black cork bar tape. Hard to find, but this ebay seller has it:

How about supporting TE which makes all this possible. Above and slightly to the right is says "click to shop"

Susan and Jeff have a whole pink aisle.

Thanks! Long live TE!

Such a great idea! I did look but didn't see any grips, which could be the fault of this newbie user. I have flat bars, not the drops, so can't use tape either. But thanks for your help, I love how everyone is so helpful here!

Beautiful! I have flat bars, not the drops, so sadly I can't use this. Do you think I should go get a fancy carbon road bike so I can? Let's see what hubby has to say

thanks for your help!

Sorry, didn't catch that you were flat bar. Not sure if they'd work for you (I know very little about flat bar grips), but Specialized has a grey/pink grip in the Women's BG Contour Locking grip line. There's also Origin8 Ergo Sport Grips handlebar grips that are grey/pink, too. You should be able to find these if you Google for them.

Yes, I'm all for supporting the "home team" TE, whenever possible!

Thanks! I did see the Specialized, but they are the wrong pink. The best I can find are the origin8 you mentioned. I am going to order them if, when my other accessories arrive, I still need a touch of pink at the bars. Will post pics when I get everything and put it all on the bike!

Specialized makes some cool bright pink water bottles that I just got from the LBS- they are great. The caps are grey/smoke, and they are so easy to squeeze and I can open and close the valve with my mouth. The Camelback Podiums they replaced were ugly, and I had to either leave the valve open or stop and use both hands to manipulate the valve. And they were harder to squeeze. I'm not a pink fan and my bike is red/white with grey details but what the hey, I'm good with pink bottles! Never thought I would have anything pink on my bike...

Yes! Buy the road bike so you can get the bar tape! Or get these:

I have them in yellow. Very comfy and grippy.
