Help Me Add Some Bling To My New Bike!!!

[arielmoon]

My thing with bling is not to do to much. I like to say my Madone has pink accents but I am surprised when someone makes a comment about my pink bike.

I did my did my bars and put bright pink bottle cages on the bike and that is it!

I could have gotten my saddle in pink but I didnt and I didnt see the cateye computer in pink until after I already had been riding with my trek computer for a while.

When I get my bars re-done I think I am going to do them in silver and get pink hoods. Then I will get the pink Cateye! LOL

So my advice is to not do too much!

@fleece, how do you like that saddle? i really want to get one. tried doing the loner thing online, but, the saddle is never in when i try to get it out. i think it looks awesome!

Wow lucky you, you guys get the loaner program. Here down under we don't have anything like that. The only thing I don't like the saddle is the price Fortunately I picked it up on Ebay for relatively cheaper price.

Apart from that, it looks awesome and is extremely comfortable, but you should definitely read a few threads regarding sit bone measurements before deciding which model of the SMP you want to go for since the saddle 'cradles' your sitbones. If it ain't the right size, it's going to hurt. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=36824 see here.

It definitely needs a 'getting used to' period but after 3 rides on it, I already feel much better and it definitely tops my list of most comfortable saddles I've ridden so far. It completely avoids my soft tissue and that I'm eternally grateful for!

I don't know how I'm supposed to balance out the hint of purple on the saddle with the rest of the bike but no one can see while I'm riding anyway.

You know you can get that same saddle in solid black or white without the word "lady" on it, don't you? Assuming you don't want the pink on it. There isn't a men and women's version, other than the pink added, which I personally DIG!!! So far haven't found one that works for me.

Anyway, just thought I'd point that out in case you didn't know. Had a long talk with one of my LBS guys about saddles and how they are all basically unisex in design. We discussed the SMP's in particular.

Sorry for the hijack...what kind of strap comes with the V3? Am trying to decide what to do for my new bike...

X2!!! I'm looking at the V3, also...and was wondering about the HRM strap. Is it comfortable? I really don't like the straps on the Polar HRM's...I find them to be bulky and cumbersome...especially under a sportsbra.

Nothing says bling like curb feelers.

probably no one here knows what they are

I've sure never seen them on a bicycle, but I LOVE the idea! May have to get some for my commuter.

@fleecedog, sounds delightful. just got to figure out how to measure them. lbs has no sit o meter.... i like the size of my toupe that came on my bike, but, if i can ever get ahold of a loaner, i can go from there. thanks!
