Pink Cork, When It Rains, It Pours!

[Bill Bove]

After searching high and low, in and out, up and down for way too long one of my suppliers called to tell me that they were now stocking a pink vinyl bar tape :banana: WooHoo, I ordered a half dozen rolls. The very next day another supplier calls to tell me that Cinelli was doing their cork in wonderful, beutiful, pink once again :banana: :banana: WooHoo with a big thumbs up :banana: I took another six rolls off his hands. I like to have a small back up. My bars are now covered in the most beautiful color in the cycling world again. I am at least one mile an hour faster :D I am a chic magnate :D I'm king of the world :banana:

..... I am a chic magnate ....
A chick magnate? You actually sell those things? :D

[Too Tall]

He said "chic" not Chick.

Fly, Mary Ann...anybody?

[Spinsistah]

Pink bar tape = chick magnet? Not in my camp, sweetie!

[Dr. Doofus]

magenta magnate?

[Brian Smith]

When you run across something you like that has been unavailable for a while, it's a grand ol' time! I LOVE it when that happens.
I say buy even more while you're thinking about it!
3 sets per bike!

Then again, this is why I have boxes and boxes of stuff I haven't (yet) used or suitably catalogued.... and more sets of SL-BS50s than I have road bikes, and I've got a few of those....

Yes!

[Bill Bove]

magenta magnate?
Uh, that's MANgenta :D

SpinBabe, when you grow bored with Mr. Metro we'll talk again :p

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . Leave Spin-Lady alone. I have dibs. ;)

He wrote "chic magnet", but perhaps he really meant "Sheik magnet"... and who knows, it might very well be camp.

[Bill Bove]

Chic=short for the Spanish colloquism, Chica=woman. Being called "sweetie" makes me feel so denigrated :( :confused: :banana:
But when you think about it the pink tape is very chic, all the beuatiful people in New York will soon be wrapping their bars in pink cork. Pink, it's the new black! Even when pink becomes so cool it's passe, I'll still be sportin' pink cork on my bike.

[Spinsistah]

Being called "sweetie" makes me feel so denigrated :( :confused: :banana:

I actually had to look the word up to see what it meant -

1. To scorn or criticize someone; to attack or belittle the reputation, character or worth of someone.

Bill, I didn't mean it in that manner, I call some of the people I love most in life "sweetie." Not that they like it any more than you do. :) But I didn't mean it in a critical way.

[Too Tall]

Sweetie, Hun, sugar, baby doll, puddin' etc. are all common terms of affection here in the gay vague southern states. Y'all come on down.

[Bill Bove]

Well O.K. but you're gonna have to say you like me more than BumbleBeeDave to prove it. :D

[Spinsistah]

Well O.K. but you're gonna have to say you like me more than BumbleBeeDave to prove it. :D
Now Bill, you know I can't play favorites on the Forum. Doing so would be so partisan. :)

[Bill Bove]

:no: No Pink Cork For You!

[Ginger]

Wrap a New York Bar in pink cork? That might get costly.

Bill Honey, don't let those other forumites bother you none. Why don't you come over and sit next to me... I'll buy you an iced tea and you can tell me all about your pink...um...tape...
;)

[Bill Bove]

Hmmm, an offer that deserves thought, what are you wearing?

[Spinsistah]

:no: No Pink Cork For You!
Pink doesn't fit into the color scheme on the Ottrott. :) But I bet Jan would love to get some from you.............

[Bill Bove]

I'm thinkin' it's gonna cost a bundle to get Serotta to do some pink decals for my Otrott next year. Some things are worth what you have to pay...

[Ginger]

Oh C'mon Bill...I wanted another response that had people looking up words in the dictionary...like meretricious or some such...

[Bill Bove]

I was thinking I missed a Christo reference, that idiot wrapped an island down here in pink chiffon once. he called it art, I thought it was pretty, pretty stupid.

[Ginger]

No, you caught the Christo reference. And evidently ignored it!

Leave it to a man...Being called "sweetie" makes him feel so denigrated, but call him Honey and he wants to know what you're wearing...go figure.

[Bill Bove]

Cancelling the Otrott :D

Oh Boy! Er, Oh Girl :banana: :banana: :banana:

Have you seen the Pink Velocity Nuvian rims.
Good match for the bar tape.

[Bill Bove]

Pink rims :confused: Don't ya think that might be a little, say, over the top :rolleyes: Not that there's anything wrong with that :D I've seen the rims, the color is a little off of what I already have, more girly pink than masculine MANgenta :p Sadly the new Cinelli pink is that same lighter shade, I may give fizik a call and get a matching Aliante.

[Kevan]

atta time like this???

Word games??? Tape??? Pink??????

Maybe someone should go over to his house and make sure he hasn't collapsed in front of his PC from excitement.

Smiley, you know where he lives, go over and check on him, but be prepared for what you might find...

He just might be dressed in his pink and black leathers.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . actually heard from Sandy lately?

Hey, if you are going over the top, you gotta have the pink T-Mobile jersey and forget the Ottrott, go for the Terry "Fast WoMAN" bike painted pink by JB of course.

I hear that underwear is associated with gang activity.

[Too Tall]

You CAN'T do that Tom. Continue.....
