If you are actually going to be riding off road on your mountain bike, you may not be able to find knobby pink tires. I have seen slick 26 inch tires in pink, made by Panaracer. Try ebay for them. They are not commonly stocked at bike shops. I found them once in the junk bin at a Performance.
If you plan to ride your bike off road or cannot find the pink tires, here are some ideas for pinking up your bike:
Grips: Oury makes a bunch of colors, including pink. These are great grips, nice and cushy. These run about $10-15.
Bontrager is currently making black grips with pink inserts, Satellite FIT, Select FIT and Race FIT. You can find these at almost any shop that sells Trek bikes. Probably about $15.
Bontrager also makes pink water bottle cages, also at most Trek dealerships. About $10.
Someone makes bright pink toe cages for pedals. I am not a fan of cages, but if you use them and like pink, these might be a good accessory for you. No idea how much these cost.
Seat: Terry makes a pink saddle, the Damselfly. It runs about $110. It is meant for pretty serious riders and may not be comfortable for the casual rider. Specialized makes the Jett, a women's specific saddle, which is white with pink accents. Also made for pretty serious riding. It runs about $100. Bontrager has a few saddles with pink accents. Pink is a big color for them this year.
Headset: If you want to spend some money and this is a pretty nice mountain bike, you could get a pink Chris King Headset. These are limited run, so they may be hard to find, and cost about $150. They have been available the last few years in the fall only. You will need to have it professionally installed, which will cost an additional $30 or so.
Wheels: You can get some wheels built with pink Velocity rims and pink Chris King hubs for about $800 for the pair. With other hubs, a bit cheaper. (The hubs are about $500 and are also made in limited runs so they may be hard to find.)
You can also get some pink headset spacers and caps. Chris King makes some to match their headsets and others have sold random pink carbon ones on ebay.
Finally, Jagwire makes pink brake and shifter cable housing. Ask at a bike shop, they should be able to find them. They run about $25 a set.

you can order anything you like at any local cycling shop.and if you buy them there alot of the time they will mount them for you for little or nothing,as well as helping a small business and if you need your rims straightened or breaks adjusted these will be handy people to know..good luck have fun and be safe

Go to Walmart, look in the paint department, find pink spray paint. Paint tires, and boom! You have pink tires at an affordable price! :)

I think you can find them in the Bunnyville General Store. They should be in the same aisle as the gum drop stools and purple fairy lanterns.
