Red. It's a non-DS pic but what the heck, Faliero's signature is on this side.

Pink? I don't know if this qualifies as pink. Sort of, almost, maybe. A little.

My wife's other pink (with turquoise panels) bike, a Chiorda mixte '80s-built as an MTB with cruiser fork, drum brakes and Stronglight 99 triple. Marinoni did the paint. We actually sold this to a friend for his then-teenage daughter but the bike came back to us last year. Kid grew up.

My Pinarello. The only red bike I ever owned. Unfortunately this was taken after I went from 25 to 0 mph hour in under one second. Bent top tube, down tube, fork, and handle bars. Also, killed the front rim. Oh, and 5 days in ICU for me. That was a little over 9 years ago and I've kept the rubber side down since.

Like everyone else, I am familiar with the established fact* that red bikes are faster. As such, I've managed to accumulate a few of them.
the Raleigh Team:

the Hetchins:

and the Olmo, because red Italian bikes are the fastest of all!
(the photo of the bike leaning against the tree didn't turn out that well)

* and by "fact", I do actually mean "myth".

Just recently completed my 1984 Centurion Turbo rebuild. Excited to get to ride this after my 1984 Centurion Comp TA kicked the bucket.

Here are my pink & red bikes. The Lotus is a Goodwill bike that is way too small so I will be passing on.

I'm appalled no one has posted up a 770 yet.

Another pic of the 770. From our ride yesterday. 55 degrees in Denver on February 2nd!
@cb400bill did such a great job building this bike back up. Love the little touches he put on it, specifically the 3ttt stem/bars, San Marco Rolls saddle, Clement Strada LGG rubber, Fizik leather bartape, NOS SR brake levers/hoods, and the Mavic MA40 clinchers. I feel incredibly fortunate every time I ride it
