    Looking for pink tires - any ideas

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    My Ruby Comp is black with light pink graphics. Trek had some pink tires last season but they proclaimed "Trek". I need 700x23 or 700x25's. Any ideas on where I can find light pink sidewall road tires? I am not that girly, but somehow this bike just begs for pink handlebar tape and pink tires.

    I have a pink and black Ruby and bought Michelin Pro Race 3's (you can get Pro Race 4's too) which have a pink stripe.

    Team Estrogen also has pink/white tires

    I think Channelluv was selling a pair very recently on the For Sale/Wanted board. There was an inquiry, but I don't know for sure if they were sold?

    I assume these are the ones that you did not like: http://www.bontrager.com/model/09127. Those are the only light pink side walls I have found. Plenty of hot pink ones though.

    Deany, I am selling these: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...159#post637159

    e3rdpower has asked for them, and I replied to her before I saw your post -- she's got first dibs here, but if she changes her mind...I'm waiting for her to get back to me to confirm mailing addresses and payment.

    ETA: My pink tires are sold.

    pink tires - always seem to be hot pink

    I have hot pink on it now....for a while had two-tone pink handlebar tape and that sort of made them work. I have not been able to find light pink anywhere. Terry did for a while, but no longer. I will check out the Pro Racers..that is one of the tires I have used on my FCR1. The Pro Racer is one of the few tires I can find in 650x23.
