I got the BLUES
The Road Cycling forum has a blue bike thread, but we don't? What's up with that?
Ca. '85 Somec Super Corsa:
Whatever your shade, from midnight to sky, share 'em here!

Here's mine. It's a hybrid to drop bar conversion and I'm waiting on new tires and a new saddle, so it's not quite ready for prime time. It's cyan to electric purple fade.

Edit: Oh wow, I just realized how dorky my reflectors look. They are now removed.

Some beautiful contributions so far; thanks! My faves so far are @iab's Cinelli (love the matching bottle) and @Michael Angelo's Carlton (I'd personally like to see more of that beauty). Of course, I appreciate all of 'em, but those two in particular jump out at this guy 
Keep 'em coming, folks.

these 'color' threads come in so handy when building a bike where you're unsure of tape and housing choices.
i don't often recommend using silver tape, but i thought it worked ok here on this '82 moto grand touring.

i went with white fizik for this '84 univega sportour-s. i was a little worried when i received fizik's gloss version in the mail. but it came out all right.
when buying fizik from ebay, check the pics and ask the seller about type.
