Your bike is very pink Ken. But I must be missing something. I'm guessing someone is sharing your username. But if not, there's nothing wrong with that. Thanks for your service.

Thank you Sir. I don't think anyone else is using my user name. That's strange.

Very nice.
That is definitely the pinkest bike I have ever seen I think.

White bar tape would have been the perfect foil and balance to all that pink.

I have red Specialized rib cages that turned pink...would fit perfectly in your build.
Very nice details & color matching.Even the cable housing...

I bet Origin 8 or Velocity might have been able to get you some pink rims. Maybe a pair of those red Zero gravity brakes would have been a good choice too. Pretty sweet rig man. I race with a woman who would love this bike.

By all means have a plan, but the best plan is to have a plan to change the plan.

Dude, are you at Offutt AFB? I went to law school at Creighton. I was on active duty in the Army at the time, so, I would used the Base facilities. Nice place.
Scott Ray is awesome! Nice bike, but, I think white tape would set it off better.

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.

Too much pink! I don't know what you can do to balance it but it looks like Barbie's toy.
Here get some inspiration...

If you go with white bar tape, get the Fizik bat tape. I have the white on 3 bikes and it looks like new after several years. Well worth the $15.

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?
