I love my Red Luna. I love her so much I built new wheels for her with red Chris King hubs and red and black spoke nipples. (Thanks to Deb who helped me!) Then, I went crazy with red accessories – red pulleys, red cassette lock ring, red chain ring bolts, red brakes and red seat post collar. She is the prettiest bike in my stable! Here are some pictures.

Very nice indeed! Dig that 'old toy box' red.

I love my 'butternut squash' Luna like mad too! :D

Ah, a beautiful red Luna! I have one, too, but not with red accents, except for bar ends that have red hearts on them. I love my red Luna! Yours is fabulous!

I don't have a Luna but based on yours (and a visit to their website) I would love to have one! :D

OoooH that is gorgeous! I don't have a Luna but I have a black roadie with red decals that I have also done with red accents. I have the red chainring bolts, and the bottle cage bolts in red, as well as red caps for all the cables. I am hoping to cadge the red pulleys from DH because he has just gone Rohloff on his bike that had red pulleys so they will be surplus to his requirements.

I recently bought a packet of red headset spacers and have alternated red and black in the stack. But the piece de resistance was the red stem cap from Mellow Johnny's to complete the look. Maybe you should have one of these in red (or something similar if you are not a Lance fan - Chris King probably does one).

I've never, ever been happier on a bicycle!
I saw these posts and had to join the forum to share my gorgeous and speedy cyclocross LUNA. It truly glides like water on streets and trails.

Once I get my house fixed (there's always something!), I think I'll get a Luna Orbit cross bike. That will be a while yet, but it's on the list for sure. After the new roof, that is.
