I was looking at all the pretty bells at the bike shop but I remembered that I had a few of these squeezy dinosaur horns in my parts blackhole. I tried attaching my Detours handlebar bag/trunk rack on the front. The dinosaur was peeking over the top. It was super-cute. Unfortunately, it rendered most of the handlebar useless.

Today it gets my ratty Topeak Super Tourist rack.

There are some great bikes in this thread. Anyone else have a pink bike?

Tom,

I would take you up on your offer but I just recently got a fresh set for my race bike from Bianchigirl.

There is a really nice pink Vitus 979 in my size for sale on CL, just a few miles from my house. This thread is making me consider buying it and hanging my Mavic grouppo on it.

Bikes: Are several.

I enjoyed this one briefly; it now hangs in my girlfriend's parents' shed (far far away):

Love the strawberry ice cream head tube and decals.

I also have a screaming pink Shogun triple triangle (Hellenic stays) in my shed here, but no pics yet! Now I have a reason...

Pic of my Vitus 979 on page 2 was deleted when my ex-wife hacked my flickr account.
I found some saved photos, so here it is again.
