Maybe I'm missing something, but why pink? Not saying its not a nice bike, just wandering why Pink is becoming a fad.

Assuming its set up correctly for the rider, the stem is relatively short, so a bigger frame would mean a very short stem.

Did they rescind the "don't ask, don't tell" policy?

King Ti Cages,
only 1 cage mount for a size small :-(
So why the small frame size when you have what looks like ~3cm of spacers on the steerer and at least a foot of seatpost out?
It's a very compact style frame with an extremely sloping top tube thus lots of seat post showing. And I'm running only a single 25mm spacer. The stem is 10cm long. I used Planet-X's recommended size on their website which is based on rider height. I'm just under 5'7 and fall within the range of the small frame size.

Yep, I'm at Offutt AFB. The base field house is pretty nice. I just got here in Feb. I'm warming up to the idea of the white tape after the pink stuff gets dirty but so far the Lizard Skin tape seems to be holding up pretty well. I was also thinking of going with Deda Chrome tape.
Always thought Zoomies were more in touch with their feminine side. That's why I joined/retired from the Army;-)
Not sure why pop,pop,fizz,fizz sticks in my mind when I look at that bike.
