Road Bike Frame Colour Schemes

[Reynard]

I fell in love with this... And had to have it. Not many road bikes in my size, might I add - but wanting to buy this is what got me back into cycling.

Still in love with it two years (and many happy miles) later Often get asked "Where did you get that lovely bike?"

Like @NorthernDave and his Boardman, people can't believe it's from Halfords.

Of course. That's rather nice.

A Bamboo bike? You'll need to pop a photo up if so, i'm intrigued. I thought I was the only one round here, it would be great to see another.

Rainbow on wheels. Cue zippy and George.

This is my latest ride - I love the bike but its taking me a long time to like the color scheme:

A couple of my current crop: one IMO subtle and the other not very! Can you guess which one is which?

I've had an eclectic mix of colours. Allez was red, Tarmac is white with some blue (I'd have preferred red, but spec came in white that year) cross bike is grey with some red, equilibrium is blue and red and I've just added a bright yellow Carrera as a turbo bike. Equilibrium has grown on me. It didn't stand out when I got it, but it works. Tape has to be black. My red allez had white tape which became too grotty for my liking.

I ride it on the road, therefore it's a road bike.

Very classy, I've always liked those as well, hard to find in bigger sizes. They pioneered large diameter aluminum tubesets. I have only run across one used, and it needed new dropouts. Sadly, another brand folded into Trek, never to be heard from again.

There is a Klein attitude 1999 on ebay for £1500!

Also a late 1980's Klein Performance in 60cm for 150.00USd and 49.15USD shipping. Did I mention the stem was stuck? So may need a fork. An early touring model.
