Hey there,

Saw your site – looks cool.

Thought you could post my new Yeti.

It’s an ASR-sl with Carbon rear, full XT gear (Dual Control) with beautiful Pink Chris King Hubs and Head Set.

Bought the frame from ‘for-the-Riders” in Brissy – those guys are great. And made the bits up from various suppliers.

I ride mainly Mt Coot-tha, Bunyaville and Daisy Hill in Brisbane Australia.

Cheers

Here is a picture of my pink Marinoni Delta xtra purchased in 2004. Actually Marinoni, in Quebec, lists the colour as Tender en francais.

I would be honoured if my bike was added to your site!

thanks,

From Claire:

“This is my pink bike.  The frame is a beautiful steel lugged Univega from the late ’80’s.  I got it for free when my work found it in some abandoned basement office space.  My b.f. spent hours cleaning it up and replacing everything on it.  Now it’s got pink rims (Velocity), pink Chris King hubs and headset, pink handlebar tape (cinelli) and pink brake cables.  The fenders are black, but they have pink reflective stickers on them.  It’s even got a pink bell.

“I live in Alaska and ride it to work every day.  In the winter it gets studded tires (not pink).”

Denise sent in this pic of her friend’s pink Trek. Here’s the story:

Hi Crystal,

I’d like to introduce you to PINKY.

She is the first road bike I rode, and belongs to a friend of mine. His cousin gave him the frame and then he did it all up in pink. I love pinky to bits, but i had to return her to her rightful owner and have since bought my own bike.. which is black..

please put her up on your site, the owner will be super chuffed. His name is Sasman Mohamed (b@ckinBl@ck is his online moniker that you see on the chainstay)

Cheers,
Denise Wong

Hello Crystal,
I love pink and love your site.  Here are my 3 pink bikes.
1)    Custom Bike
I got this bike custom made with my first salary after college about 20 years ago in Japan.  I brought it all the way to the US.  I don’t ride it much now but still love this bike!
2)    Cannondale
With all pinkness on the bike, as well as my pink helmet, socks and jersey, I won the most color-coordinated award in the 2008 Redmond-to-Spokane (WA, 300 miles) ride.
3)    Marin
I had never mountain-biked before but had to buy this beautiful bike!  Now, though not very good at it, I love mountain-biking.

Thank you!
Kanako

“This bike started out as a 1987 Centurion Dave Scott Master Triathlon 12-speed with Tange No. 1 double-butted tubing. I wanted an all-pink single-speed, and its quality frame and Shimano 600 brakes, crank, and headset made this a good candidate for renovation and conversion. After dismantling the bike and sawing/filing off the shift lever mounting lugs on the downtube, the frame and fork were powder coated pink. I left the rear derailleur hanger on in case I ever want to convert it back to a multi-speed. My husband reassembled the bike with wheels he built from Mavic Open Pro rims, pink Milwaukee high-flange hubs, and DT Swiss double-butted spokes. The 42-tooth chainring is Salsa, and the 17-tooth freewheel is Shimano. The Noah’s Ark handlebars from Soma are wrapped with pink tape and equipped with new Shimano brake levers. A pink seat and pink toe straps complete the theme. Its light weight and tight geometry make the bike a quick handler for my daily commutes to the office.”

Alice sent in these photos. She writes:

“Here is my pink fixie,  painted with Rustoleum Candy Pink.”

Alejandra from Medellin-Colombia sent these photos of her pink bike…

… and this photo of her riding it.

Last but not least, a close-up of her grips.

Tally sent in a photo with her bike, Carson, named after Carson in “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” Carson loves to dress up in pink accessories. She and Carson live in St Kilda, a beach suburb of Melbourne, Australia and ride regularly along Beach Road. “Beach Road runs for 100k and attracts 14,000 cyclists each weekend so the vibe is wonderful,” she writes. She is currently in training for ‘Around the Bay in a Day’, a 212km ride, a record for both her and her bike.

Amy’s husband David sent this photo in for the site, and writes: “Here is a picture of my wonderful wife’s pink bike. Yes, that is Floyd Landis signing a LeMond in pink!”
