Fifty Plus (50+) - Let's See Your GREEN Bikes! OK, Yellow Too

I'm all for getting carried away with this color theme, all bikes are pretty, even green and yellow bikes.

My Cannondale is both green and yellow:

My 1983 Cannondale is just green

This year's color scheme is pretty cool, too, but I'm not going to buy a new bike over it.

Going from a red to a yellow bike forced me to buy a new helmet, the Livestrong one of course. My wife doesn't understand why I need to match my helmet to my bike color. Oh well.

Behold my '87 Bianchi frame built up using modern Campagnolo 9 speed components with downtube friction shifters.

I also have a green '02 Lemond Alpe D' Huez but have never photographed it.

O.K. Green first!

Next summer I hope to have two more green bikes. I'm rehabing an old Huffy 3-spd and a Trek 800 and intend to paint them both Emerald Green. Until then...

Here's the 1986 Raleigh Marathon (steel frame)...

Here is a very old picture of our Burley Tandem complete with my very precious stokers. It looks blue but in reality it's teal and teal seems green to me...

Now I hope Gold is close enough to yellow to slip in our 2004 Sun EZ Tandem here...

That's all for now.

OK, I'm in. The Big Dummy. Kind of a military olive green.

The Quetzal recumbent. John Deere green and yellow.

May as well toss my wife's electric bike in too.

My green Masi Randonneur 2011 as delivered in August last year. We've been through an adventure or two since then, and had to get new wheels. Next July we're riding across Iowa together. :thumb:

After a complete fitting and adjustment, this bike fits me like a glove.

There are plenty of yellow bikes, but only one YellowBike, my Y2K Trek 1000, purchased second-hand in 2007, and heavily modified and upgraded since.

What? Only one Bianchi so far??? Slackers!

Here's the only yellow one I own anymore.

Yeah, where are all the celeste (green) Bianchis? (maybe with the blue bikes?)

In figure skating, it is unlucky to wear green. Is there an unlucky color for bikes, I wonder?

Is yellow the new green? I know that yellow+blue=green, but I thought this was "show us your green bikes."

Edit: Oops! Nevermind...should read more carefully....just saw that the title includes Yellow bikes.

/me smacks self in forehead. :o

Didn’t think you would ever get to green.

Classy bike! :thumb:

Other than the Blue bike I don't have any others posted. Even the Tandem in the Blue- looks Black.

I have a Bronze anodised that looks Gold- A Bianchi that is Celeste and Celeste is a colour in its own right when it is on a Bianchi and a Black white and silver that I can't decide where it should be posted and the New bike is white silver except it isn't.

A Bianchi that is Celeste and Celeste is a colour in its own right when it is on a Bianchi ...

Actually, I've seen it as "Bianchi Sea Green" in 1970's pamphlets. "Celeste" is an interesting Italian word. Remember that it is pronounced "CHE less tay." There's a very famous Italian opera tenor aria called "Celeste Aida" (from Verdi's Aida) which translates to "Heavenly Aida." So it's actually heavenly, not sea green!

I remember that green...pretty color. I had an '84 Cannondale, pretty purple. It was a 50cm frame and I rode it for twenty years. Rode like it was made of cement; really, really hard and unforgiving. Pretty though. :)

Green bikes. :thumb: check!

Mrs. Grouch and i haven't managed to tame it yet but, if we ever do - look out!

2011 Windsor Tourist. I rebuilt the bike and added upgrades that includes;

• 48, 36 & 22t triple with a 12-27 nine-speed cassette
• Salsa Woodchipper bars and bar end shifters

I don't know... I think that looks more black-ish than it does green-ish.

Black is one color, green is many. It's not black.

Celeste, not green, that would be heresy--

But I did change the bar tape to black.

1968 Raleigh Sprite 5 speed - Milwaukee harbor

My beautiful 1978 Schwinn Sportabout.

I can't believe nobody has posted photos of a Celeste Bianchi yet. Here are some shots of my Waterford RST-22, which is a deep metallic green and almost looks black in the photo, and my De Bernardi SL, which is an unusual color that looks green in low light and blue in bright light or blue-green in medium light.

^^^ Ummm, check Tom's post, #31, that shows his Celeste Bianchi. Pretty bicycle.

Huh? Check out mine in post #5.:)

Guess I scrolled through the thread too quickly ... sorry to miss the Celeste Bianchis the first time around!

Green? Nope.

One-and-a-half yellow bikes.
A Screaming Yellow Screamer tandem and a Screaming Yellow half of a V-Rex.

We're talking ex friend I presume?

Here is a Peugeot Tourmalet from 1987. 240965

Click to enlarge. I have owned it since 1989.

How about a green bike with yellow accessories:)

^I really like that pic. Cool set-up on your Bianchi.

We're talking ex friend I presume?

We are indeed. Notice i said that I miss the bike and not the "friend.":D.

Actually, After I found out about it, I went back to NJ and filed suit and came back home a few days later. A few weeks after that, I found out that my former friend had fallen down his stairs, while drunk and high on Oxycodone, and broken his neck, killing himself. I posted a lot about this in the road forum and got many responses...many of the "you should pick your friends better" variety.

But DAMN I miss that bike!

My refurbished Schwinn Frontier is veeeery yellow.
