Several years ago when I was shopping for my mountain bike, the friend who accompanied me was totally mortified by my response to the woman in the LBS when she asked what I was looking for. I told her "I want something that matches my helmet."The other question is - how many of you coordinate your biking clothes/helmet/other accessories to match your bike?? I admit I definitely do.The helmet was purple/black (love those two colors together. They match the bruises I got on the bike I had prior.) Didn't have exactly that but I ended up with a black mtb with purple accessories.
Didn't have the same luck when I was shopping for a road bike last year. The gorgeous purple/silver one I was lusting after came with a price tag that really cooled my ardor. Sigh. The one I got is blue/silver. The other one that fit/handled really well was red and I just do not like the color red. If if don't like the color (I'm the same way when car shopping), I'm not going to use it, let alone pay for it.
