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 don't have a pink bike, but I do think you and I have the same model of garage door!

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...

Schwinn called it Wineberry (for the World Sport), from what I see in the catalogs.

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

L.6 and 26340 are stamped on my BB. I'll check for markings on my seat post tomorrow. Where exactly did you find Italy and 27.2?
