Hey, you didn't see me last week on my pink cross bike with pink Sidis and pink jersey! Pink Power!!
Many eons ago my husband was hiking up and down the Silver Creek (a blue ribbon, far and fine, trout stream) looking for me. He finally asked someone if he had seen me. The guy's response was a grumpy "if she's the one in the pink hat catching all the fish, she's down there!"
Pink Power!!

Yep, I'm gonna get laughed at... and I'm guessing I'll get some looks that run between outraged and appalled... maybe some shakes of the head too...
you see I just put my brand new PINK Terry Butterfly breast cancer saddle and PINK bartape on my Litespeed...
It's somewhere between totally awesome and absolutely horrific and I love it! 
It'll be easy for forumites to see me now on event rides anyway... 
I can't wait to drop some bike snob who pokes fun at my pretty girl bicycle...

Ooh, good one, Irulan. BikerChick - add some pearls while you're at it. Jackie Phelan would approve.

too bad it's not a mtb, you could the pink Chris King hubs and headset on it too.
I should talk, I just bought a bunch of pink wicking supplex to make something very bright out of , dunno what yet.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

OMG! Pearls and streamers...
I gotta add that now of course! And maybe some kind of flower power horn... hahahahhahaha!
And Sadie, the fish story... that must've steamed the guy to be outfished by some little woman in pink!
I got the pink bartape at a one of my LBS... dang, can't remember the brand, but it's the T-mobile stuff... if ya need some let me know and I can get it and ship and you can just send me a check... it's the ONLY place I've ever seen it... called Hi-Tech Bikes, a pretty high end store (they have a $10,000 road bike hanging from the ceiling!)
I'll get a pic soon and post it... promise...Last edited by bikerchick68; 06-28-2005 at 03:15 PM.

I also saw pink at Bike Alley this weekend and two shades of cinelli purple.
There is also a review over at girlbike.com.
Pink is fab-u-lous!!!!

Do you think this is going overboard?
Hmm, didn't know SOMA made tape. I might have to check that out. And, if I ever go to San Diego Hi-tech Bikes is on the field trip list. Bubba was seriously looking at a Merlin they had on sale a few months back but wrong size by 1 cm.

My 3 year old has a horn on her trike (actually a squeaker) that is a pink pig. I think you really need one, bikerchick!
