Think Pink! Share Your Bike!
Title credit to the Giro Jersey ad up top as I post this. Some of you guys must have tacky pink bikes. Let's see them!
Here is my Bertoni Corsa Mondiale that i picked up over the weekend. It has Columbus SL tubing with Shimano 600EX components minus the seatpost, handlebars and stem which are 3ttt and ITM. I believe it's a 52 cm (30.5 standover) so it's a little small on me. Or I think it is?

I think pink/magenta/fuchsia bikes are special. There's just something about 'em. I really need to get another. This is one of the only bikes I no longer have that I still miss (and one of the only photos I have left of it)... still pains me to see the photo. I'll just have to find another one

OK, here's a real basic Schwinn in pink. I sold it last fall. Buyer explained that the bike was not pink, but was "melon". Sure looks like pink to me...

My ride partner has a hot pink waterford. I'll try to sneak a photo of it this weekend.
