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).”
