Pink bar tape for men?

[Milzy]

So I thought this popped really well on black. Splash of colour and better for safety.
Had a lot of negative comments. It's 2017, it's not for girls only. Or is it??

Was actually thinking for my own road bike myself, but more a neon colour ?

The comments would be handy to spot people who are stupid so you don't have to talk to them.

I like pink, but maybe not for bar tape as it will get dirty

I very nearly did that. I've seen lots of Neon, fluro & pink in the pro peloton. As everything on C.C is always compared to the pro's.

Only left out because if I put back in the shed, the lad next door will ask to borrow it. *rolls eyes*

The bar tape is the only decent looking part of the bike. Only tyres should be black.

I'd love it to be sprayed in spear mint green.

I had this admittedly not for long as I didn't keep the bike for long looked a lot pinker than in the photo . I mentioned to the very well spoken gentleman I purchased it from that I was a bit wary of you know pi$$ takers etc. He mentioned in passing that spending 35 years in the army made him a rough tough dude and he hadn't given it a second thought. A touch of what you fancy does you good

Pink gets you noticed, not a bad thing for a cyclist.
