My son is about to turn 3 and I'm getting him a balance bike he wants a very specific one which is a vintage style bike with a basket and is Pink with white tyres....his dad has outright said no because it's 'a girls bike' he has tried to show him others and has told him he isn't allowed Pink but he still picks the same one every time.....would anybody just buy the Pink or buy a different one and hope he likes it?

Imagine being a grown man and being worried about a colour.

I would get the one he wants

For god sake, just get him the bike he wants. You husband sounds like an arse. "Girls bike" 🙄

Your son has chosen the bike he wants. His dad needs to keep his stereotypical judgmental views to himself.
