Real men can ride a pink bike.
Lens: Bigma. Camera: K5 Photo Location: Saugus Ma. 
Posted By: charliezap, 04-26-2013, 01:13 PM

I used to get my b's busted at GE when I rode my bike at lunch.The real color is magenta but I told them that it was MANgenta.They still laughed. Today I cleaned it up a bit and took it out for a hour shakedown cruise with no problems.It's a Dave Scott triathlon bike vintage 1985ish with Shimano 105 components.The chain wheel is a bio pace configuration and is elliptical supposedly giving you more useful output of energy.It was probably a gimmick at the time.The first shot is in the K5's posterization mode.With the tire pressure at 110lbs the seat is not your friend.
