TIME Bikes new pink color
I decided a while back that I'd get the Time Alpe d'Huez once they redesigned and was set on red but the pink looks stellar.

Looks great, but I prefer neutral frame colours so they don't risk clashing with whatever jersey I'm wearing. I have several jerseys that would not look good against that pink frame. Just something to consider.

Time is my hands down favorite bike!
IMHO, to cover that awesome carbon fiber work with any paint is a sin!! Red is less of a sin. Pink... NOPE!!!
Ferrari = RED. Time = Raw Carbon. This is not negotiable!!!!!

They can call that pink, but that's fuchsia in my book

I've never owned a pink road bike, but I did have a pink GT BMX bike when I was younger

I like it... it not the normal bright pink color bike companies like to use. That has a nice blend of the purple in it.

Yeah thats a helluva nice color. Time bikes also just look good- the lines consistently work.
The opposite of that is Pinarello where some joints look like tubes were just jammed together, and they saved money by buying forks that were warped due to sitting in a trailer in the summer heat too long.

My quiver is missing a pink bike. The kanzo I dream about building, is a pink fade to black. It’s a hot pink though, this would look even better.

On the interwebs, Fuchsia and Magenta are identical colors. So, except for those hinky color swatches, everyone is correct.

Beautiful color regardless of the shade! My 1992 DeRosa is full on pink, was a pretty hot shade when I first bought the frame and fork, it’s faded a ton but I love the color it’s turned into as well.

That so-called "Fuchsia" (EA34F6) is pretty darn close to real magenta (FF00FF). That so-called "Magenta" (EA338E) is not even close to magenta.

Both those bikes look pretty good to my eye. I think the pink is quite original.
