It all depends on whether you'll be nailing 10 foot drops, if so it's cool

If not, you're gonna look a bit crap

Overall, I like it

Don't matter about the colour, it's the attitude...

I think the white bits with it may have tipped it from cool to camp...overall I would though

The white bits make it worse. The fork could be forgiven, but the saddle and especially the grips you could have done something about ..

I'd go for the last option. I think all pink bikes look guff.

Stick with it mate!

I had the exact same scenario. I picked up a Stiffee very cheap in the same pink. I intended to re-spary it after it's warranty ran out but kept it as I ended up liking it.

Made for some genuinely interesting/amusing comments in NZ, where The Kiwis hadn't really heard of Cove Bikes.

Sadly it cracked at the rear drop out... A design which cove seem to have gone back to in their latest iteration of the Stiffee

"It looks naked."

It looks inside-out.

Like it, and means that if someone T-bones you, its not as if they can't see it. However more attractive to *cough* pikeys *cough*

Let me take the bike out of your hands 😉

I reckon anyone who takes a serious enough dislike to the colour of your bike to get all vocal about it, isn’t really worth knowing so if you like it, irrespective of your talent levels, I say stick with it…

Very nice, I like Pink bikes. But just add these so you don't look like a Lord.

You can only get away with it if you attach a stereo and play The Pink Panther theme everywhere you ride.

Seriously.
