I like the white, it add's better dimension to your bike and add's to the lines of your bike as well. The white also gets you better depth with your color scheme too. It add's more contrast as well.

Since a couple of you mentioned gray piping instead of pink, I did one more comparison - with and without studs, gray vs. pink. The gray is actually not bad.

I will have to look at it some more - it's definitely between these two. Good thing I let Hubby pick out all the house furniture

Seat #3 is by far your best option in this whole thread ( white ostrich with pink piping and small ribbon).it is closest to the look of the original white seat. Some times less is more. Glad we talked you into keeping a white seat. I may be biased though.

+ 1 on seat number three I totally agree that simplier is better on your bike. The rest of the bike has such an awesome paint scheme that a busy seat just seems to detract. You are probably so used to looking at your bike that you are seeking a dramatic change with the seat but in this case simpler is better but that is just my opinion.

Nope, green is our favorite color. Pink isn't even one of my favorites - but it makes a statement, especially for breast cancer awareness.

My next bike will be either purple or blue

It's a CC seat so I figure I'll have them re-cover it since they know their seats. I just wish they could make it a little wider.
When I got my seat from C&C I had them do a little tweaking...I'm sure they can make the seat a little wider. Chuck was super to work with!

At the risk of adding another option. Have you considered a band of pink around the backrest (the thickness) and and equal size band of pink below the piping? White/ pink band/ white. This would add a nice blend of pink in with the white seat while not being too much. Just a thought.
