Help, girl in need!

Haha! I'm purchasing a new bike, and I can't seem to find a green chain. I have seen them, but I am having trouble locating them. The search feature on the forum didn't help. Thanks guys and gals!

if you change your avatar to include breasts and somehow find a way to post a bunch of pictures of you posing next to your bike, i'm pretty sure you'll get answers to every question you've ever had.
just a thought.

1) No one needs a green chain.
2) Rustang should probably provide the context for his comment, otherwise it comes across as kind of mean spirited.
3) Try a LBS/OBS that caters to the BMX market.

i think most the things i say come across as mean spirited, ha. generally i'm ok with that, but since this girl and i probably have a few mutual friends, i'll make the extra effort...

desperation in action.

Ya, really!

The KMC chains that reload carries DO NOT come in green. Unless you know of a different kind of colored chain they carry, they don't have green.

Also, if you guys DO help me find a green chain, I will definitely take pictures of me doing "things" to the bike, like lubricating the chain and dirty things as such. This bike proves that they exist. The problem is the site the pic came from is in a completely different language, and I can't find out where they got it. Arg!

instead of harassing women here on bikeforums, shouldn't you be inflating yours?

Bummer. Back to square one. I too have seen them, but don't know where to get one except that Wipperman will make you a custom color chain, but it's a little pricey. Like I said, if you find one, please let me know where.
