Agree - it's what I asked for  |
but didn't he put the stickers on over the lacquered finish? So you could get new stickers made up and take the old ones off? |
You must remember the horrific sight of pulling a sticker off your cheap nasty bike when you were 12, and a huge patch of paint coming away with it....... |

Pink saddle otherwise what's the point its any old white bike not connected visually to team VR in any shape or form.

I just think subtle pink touches would be better, pink and white bottle cages are a good start. A pink & white saddle would be cool too. The bar tape is TOO much and looks unbalanced. To have a pink saddle to even it out would look worse.

Ok, what about white bar tape and pink electrical tape to finish off?
If anyone knows where I can get a white and pink Flite I'd be DELIGHTED. |

| Can I make a safety suggestion? That stem is older than one of Rooney's whores. Have a good look around it for any corrosion before it's too late. |

Sounds like an excuse for a new white carbon stem if you ask me

Agreed actually. We had someone on our club run snap a pair of bars that were only 2 years old. Had a really nasty fall despite being almost at a standstill.

Better. Can you get white and pink Fizik Arione saddles?

| If you want the pink bar tape, I think the cages are the next step. Who will see a pink saddle if you've got your arse hiding it? |
