What are some of the best colors for hot rods? hot pink, purple metallic, midnight purple...personally i love midnight purple. Anyway, once you get out of junior high, a color is a color and nothing more. If anyone has a problem with a pink bike, just show them the kick@$$ red/brown/green roadrash and various scars you earned on the pink bike.

I remember around March I was drooling over this 90's Tommassini NOS frame on Ebay that was pink and chrome.
Then around June I started drooling over the Giant TCR Advanced Team with pink.
And now I really want that pink Pinni.

Everytime some guy tells me that pink is "cool", "manly" or "real men wear pink", they are usually some metro/gay bloke wearing a pink polo shirt with the collar popped or a pink tie, or some glittery jacket or some crap like that.
Pink, its a lovely shade of *****.

If you want to be original, 7-up green is a good choice.

Actually, I think if you're into pink, it's alright. If you ride in parts of towns where people are hostile to cyclists, wearing pink won't help....I guarantee.

Terry, just pulling your leg. I think that pink color combo works great on your ti machine. I have had a white arione(with silver stripe) which I ride on with red bibs. So I now I ride a pink saddle too.

Gayness is a fine word, *****exuality is a medical term. We're talking cultural stereotypes, not conditions.
Be careful messing with pinkness, Der Kaiser is liable to hunt you down and smother you with his Craft undershirt, post work-out.
