Bikes: 1967 Paramount; 1982-ish Ron Cooper; 1978 Eisentraut "A"; two mid-1960s Cinelli Speciale Corsas; and others in various stages of non-rideability.
Sure, I'll play. Blue doesn't get much bluer than these two.
1982-ish Ron Cooper, with non-period correct Campy 10-speed.
1961 Bianchi Competizione, with period mostly appropriate although not model-correct Campy drivetrain (5-speed) and Universal 51 brakes.

Blue? Can do. F' sho' my herd's most common hue.
Some so dark they're almost black. But they're all of 'em blue, and that's a fact.
DeRosa
Merckx
Trek
Shogun
Peugeot
Nishiki
@DrilliumDude, seriously, before you brought up the subject, I had no idea that fully 1/3 of my fleet is blue. Never even thought about it.

Wow, I get another opportunity to post?
1952 Urago:
Early 1960's P. Peschi:
The vinyl handlebar tape seems a bit too thick and I might just go with cloth instead, it would look a bit more elegant - unless I maybe try some shade of blue?
