Ladies...which paint job?

[J9L]

I personally am a pink type of person. So I totally like the second one better. However, you are the one buying the bike, so what we think about color is not as important as what you think. However, based on what you wrote, you already sound like you like the second one better since you say the "first is boring".

Yup...you're right...I guess I'm seeking validation...do you think the pink is done well...not tacky or anything? I really like it. Now it will cost $2,000 and has 105 groupset. For $300 more, I can get that first bike with Ultegra but I'm not sure if it's really that much of a difference performance wise which is why I'm looking at the colors now

The pink one is pretty - I'd buy the flashy version if it were red. Or turquoise.

Buy the one that makes you happy. Practicality is overrated.

Told you before: Pink all the way!

Can you ask the local bike shop to change for ultegra? My LBS will do anything for me so I love my bike. Does not charge much either. Worth checking with them.

Did you test ride the pink one? With lots of shifting up and down?

If you rode the pink one and everything worked fine and you couldn't tell the difference between it and the other one, then get the pink one. It doesn't matter if someone else thinks it's tacky.

If the color is that important to you then get the pink one and forget about the components.

I agree with Helene 2013. You never know if you don't ask your LBS
