any suggestions for a way to "feminize" this bike for her? I am looking at some custom decals if I can find a high definition pdf of the logos because I don't think they can scan them off the bike. I am thinking pink brake
hoods, cables, skewers... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Purely Custom has all kinds of metal bits in different colors. Maybe she'd like the rhinestone encrusted spacers

Depending on how much you want to spend on her, there's always Chris King Pretty and Strong components.

Good stuff, good cause and it's pink
