My BMC Monstercross also is pink. The colour actually grows on you the longer you own it. My wife loves it and has named the bike Mr. Pink,after her dog,named for the character in the movie. It is the one bike I own that she "forbids" me to get rid of..
.. I have to agree..this bike is my favorite
and the one that is the most versatile. Its been: an old school looking mountain bike with bullmoose bars, my commuter,with racks front and rear, my gravel bike,my road bike..lol
* As for pink, Mr. Varley's personal bike is pink I believe..which is one of the reasons he picked that colour..I think its a great choice..John
I like! My Peter Mooney has done fast club rides, days to 140 miles both geared and fixed, toured, served as an exquisite farmer's market bike, and done gravel both geared and fixed. Looks like your bike can do all of the above! (And being steel, if it needs a braze-on or two for the next adventure 25 years from now when that sweet pink is getting tired, no problem!)
Edit: How do you like those Gevenalle shifters? Can they run friction mode?
