WSD- have we gone too far?

I bet it goes great with your Celeste bike! Easter colors!!

Yes! I'd look like Peeps on Wheels!

I actually rode the bike home from the shop the day I got fitted, carrying the pump in my hand, as I didn't have another way to lug it. It felt a bit dicey, manuevering my new, light, expensive bike with the brakes waaaay out front and down with one hand, holding the pump rather awkwardly with my other hand! Through the city streets of Chicago. Fortunately, it's about a mile to my house, and I (obviously) made it just fine. It didn't occur to me how spring-like I was with my coordinating celeste and pink!

Lise! I thought it was just me! I've got hot pink Schwalbe tires (purchased right here at TE!) on my Bianchi too. I think it looks awesome, if not a bit Art Deco/Miami Vice.

I don't get the hibiscus. I mean, they are pretty, but they are one of the most phallic flowers I can think of. Take a close look--they will be blooming here in the next month or so. Rose of Sharon and marsh mallow are in the same family.

Maybe it's guys putting them on womens' bikes? It would explain a lot.

Pedal Wench--I'm going to have to check out those hot pink wheels. Although the ones that came with my bike are sooooo beautiful. Here she is (how many times will Lise post this picture? As soon as I'm on the bike around someone with a digital camera, I'll post a picture of me on it.)

That is a beautiful bike. I remember when I was a little girl, my dad had a fancy 10-speed (that's what they were in those days). It must have been a Bianchi because it was definitely Celeste. It was stolen, and I was so sad because I thought I'd never see that color again!

[Lise]

Isn't it lovely? It does have a classic look, like some of those fancy 10-speeds from the 70s. Is your dad still around? You could take him down memory lane with the Bianchi website.

I love those classic 70s and 80s 10-speeds. The LeMond Sarthe (last year's orange one) is another one that I really like, and that I almost bought, but i ended up getting a custom bike instead (quite nice, I must say).

My dad is still around. I don't think that bike made half the impression on him as it did on me...he didn't race or anything, it was a just a nice bike he bought when he was younger than I am now () But he might like to look at the website, I know I will. Thanks.

Oh! Pink tires I want those too! I have had my LBS looking for pink tires for me forever. He wasn't able to find them and I truthfully never tried myself. Then I stumbled across them on TE the other day I was so excited it spurred a whole pink makeover for my bike. I was going to have my wheels powder coated pink, because I can get it done for free, then I found out the temp to do it is so high it might warp my wheels. Anyway I am so excited to find someone who actually has those tires!
