Sad to say, I have 3 pink Torpados. However, two of them I have as "podium girls" for photography of MY bikes (one with black seat and tape - the brunette, and the other with white seat and tape - the blond). The third is a sweet old lady, the Europa Donna model, with step-thru top tube, comfort seat, generator lights, and huge pink fenders to boot. (She must be the chaperone! She's also off topic.)
As it happens, I also have a pink Vitus, and a pinkish 3Rensho aero bike as well. I'm no fan of pink, I just got good deals on them all (must be why). John Hall at Continental, my LBS owner, would tell you that I am "value driven". :)

Hmmm, roughly around Mark Agree's size too. How many pink ones do you have, Mark?
Charlie Young only one, in gold lacquer, and still unbuilt after 3 or 4 years Honey Brook, PA
