    And pleased is what you should be. There is no photographic evidence that any of my wheels have ever left the ground.
  • Yay! That's fantastic. :)

    I'll choose not put too much stake into someone's opinion who is admittingly terrible though

    Now we could all call into question the true identity of the rider.

    but i believe it is you.

    Well, it can't be Andy, she looks too masculine.
    (bearing in mind that's not a slight at Miss Notax, it's a dig at Andy :lol: )

    There's another forum mod, called Andy, who seems to love the colour pink a little bit too much.

    Nice jump!

    Remember doin a XC race, which had a bit of a 10 -12 in jump/lip.
    Each lap it was ok, til the rain came!

    I jumped it, to the surprise of the crowd, then realised everyone else was walking it, as there were roots under the deep mud.

    More luck than skill on my part, believe you me...

    Nice bike colour, Bianchi Celeste methinks?
    Saw a BMW, the Bond one, in that colour on Sunday.
    Nice too.

    Oh, and sorry for taking over your corner of the forum, girls. Feel free to do the same with ours :wink:

    It certainly smells fresher. And the colours are a bit more interesting.

    My first real Mtb was...pink. Coyote DX.

    I called it Dusky Red. The Mrs insisted it was Pink.

    THEN, I won a Giant TCR in T-Mobile colours.

    Black, white and...pink.

    ( The Mrs is on Nights, so it's black, white and dusky red.)

    my boyfriend has a timetrial bike in the colours of his triathlon club, which for historical reasons are blue and pink. So his lovely blue Planet X stealth has pink bar-tape, pink saddle, pink cables and a pink water bottle :roll:
    The funniest thing was when Planet X rang him up about the custom build asking "are you REALLY sure that's what you want??" :lol:

    Funny how this has become the 'pink thread'.

    I think that we should use it to post examples of any cool pink cycling accessories that we see. Like these fab pink mitts, to protect your.....err....pinkies.
