Well, me? I LOVE pink. A lot, with a vengeance; this is no secret. My boyfriend, thank goodness, not only accepts this, he downright encourages it.
So he surprised me on Christmas with news of my upgraded and custom-painted bike frame, that I didn't get to see until recently. I finally rode it Sunday for the first time. WOW!
(Bottlecages from liza still in effect!)
Details on the pretty parts: magenta with a heavy multi-colored glitter, then clear coated. My name and the logo are in a shimmery white. The cranks and stem are painted to match. The "lugs" are real silver leaf.
Underneath all that is a 2010 Ruby, which is stiff as heck and descends like a beautiful dream: it carves the road like a snowboarder on a fresh patch of powder. So. Flipping. Cool.
And since I name all my bikes after cheese, this one is henceforth known as Windsor.
Here's to the next 10,000 miles!!

Fantastic!!! I too am also in love with pink! However my Orbea is mainly white with pink accents! Not nearly as extravagant as yours (but trust me if it came with that extravagance, I'd be all over it! haha) Congrats! Enjoy your pink girl, she's beautiful!

WOW! She is Super awesome! I just love it! I love the sparkleys... I love the font the script is in... I would totally stop you on the street to chat about your bike - even if that meant messing up your ride. How fun!

Wow, That really is a beautiful bike. I would love to have a custom painted bike, I'd probably keep it litterally forever.

The font is Curlz, and is one of my favorites. I have a bit of a font obsession. My hubby teases me, since I am always pointing out fonts in print ads and on billboards. Originally Posted by ginny

Oh WOW...LOVE it!!!!! Beautiful...and so "you". And now you'll stand out in pictures...because, you know, you kind of blended in before.

Lovely, lovely bike.
I know some don't care for pink, but I'm not one of them!

Where did you have it painted? I love the color and the bling.
