New (used) bike, want to make it mine

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

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.
