Sorry about your old bike. Congrats on the new bike, it looks nice. I happen to be one that hates the color pink. However, that is just me and if someone else wants a pink whatever (bike, accents, jersey, gloves), I figure they like the color. My grandmother has all kinds of things in pink (it's her favorite color). To have them question your choice of color is crazy, same as them questioning my choice to get men's jerseys.
