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).

I'm not much of a pinkie girl myself, but I figure if it turns others on, live and let live. On the other hand, I've noticed there IS a preponderance of pink and "pastels" in women's cycle clothing--that's just wrong. Sure some of us like pink, but not ALL of us. It's a matter of having choices--we all want that.
Having said that, hey, what a hot-looking Bianchi--I've always loved their signature color.
And hey, Nanci--you can just pop those Peeps into the freezer to harden them up quickly--nice cool treat!Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

Argh. That's just wrong.
I'm not a girly-girl. I'm feminine, but I think if someone showed me a pink pump I'd want to stuff it where the sun didn't shine on him.
I live in jealousy of the awesome man-jerseys, with Animal House characters on them, Gonzo art, etc. Sometimes I choose to wear my husband's jerseys because it is hard to find anything that isn't blue or pink. Yuck.

There's no law against wearing man-jerseys...

I like pink and proud of it. I don't care if it is girly! I am a girl so that works for me. I do wish they would get a bit more creative. I have found other stuff but it is limited. My local LBS just got in some really cool sleeveless jersey that are white with red edging and blue with black edging. They look very sleek. I have not wanted to by sleeveless in the past because they looked manly. I really like these though. Any suggestions fro sports bras? I have heard of those that you can put your heart rate monitor in.....is that comfy?
