Wowzers!
That's some serious color!
I love my pink accents on my bike, but I'm glad the bike itself is black and silver. I can change my colored accents any time I want, though I doubt I ever will!

We Americans are so unimaginative....this makes me want to grab all the garage sale bikes that might fit me and just go wild painting them.

Yowzies- those are cool bikes!
I love the bright colors! They make such a pretty collage- I'd like to frame some of those pics- they're so pretty.

I think I made the right color choice on my GT. It's being powder coated bright yellow

My Trek Project One is bright yellow - I loved that color long before Lance came along with his yellow livestrong stuff.

It reminds me of sunshine and biking! I hope you love yours as much as I do mine.

Nice! Love the bright yellow and the turquoise in particular. I'm thinkin' if I ever get a custom bike (or have to repaint the Volpe someday) it will be turquoise - with maybe some yellow highlights...

What a wonderful slideshow! Would make a lovely coffee table book.
Many of these look like they were taken in Holland. Many of the Dutch everyday "utility" bikes look the same, so painting it a bright color helps you find your bike more easily when it's parked with hundreds of others, and supposedly less likely to get stolen (bike theft is a huge issue there).

I doubt my old cheap GT Outpost Trail or rider will be mistaken for Lance. Originally Posted by annie

Looking at pics like these makes me very jealous of people who can build bikes (or have friends or SOs or spices who build bikes) and can pick up bikes at garage sales and start painting, fixing up!
