Yeah, it is ridiculous. Who thought it was good marketing to paint a bike hot pink with fluro yellow highlights and call it the GEODYNAMIC, to be marketed towards men? Some pretty nice bikes were glammed up in a similar fashion. Imagine if Specialized or Trek released a hot pink racer tomorrow? They would go out of business...
There is a certain charm to it though, and hot pink does make some kind of strangely ironic masculinity statement.
