Here’s my cinder red Mickey gravel bike, a companion piece to the Minnie Bike. I have only a vague idea of the vintage, but I won’t go into that saga here since we’re just about photos for the month. I’ll maybe go into that over on the “What have you been wrenching on lately” thread.
I’ll just add here that I had already built this up using the original (to me) paint scheme by the time I built the Minnie bike, so I tore it down and repainted it to match while I still had the materials at hand and the painting area set up.

I guess I never posted the Wife's Technobull here.
Paint is not original and there's an orphan wheel, but most of the rest of it seems to be stock.

The Dilecta Le Blanc soldiers on, now with some period white Bluemels and a new handlebar bag. The RD was changed to a similar All Alloy model. The red paint was touched in using Duplicolor spray and artist brush.

So many bikes last year! Such cheap bikes last year! Five of the keepers are red.
1998 Rans Tailwind. It has lost its bubble flaring along the way.
~1980 Andy Muff
Swiss, either built or marketed by Andy. Reynolds 531 frame and Shimano 600 SIS group
1998 GT Attack. Came almost all Campy, which moved elsewhere. Finally, a triple triangle GT for ME.
1986 Cannondale ST400. An incredible amount of "honest wear" and an update around the turn of the century. I wish I had asked about its history.
1988 Cannondale SR500. Really beat, but you can't ever have enough Cannondales.
Less than $300 total. It was a buyer's market.

All Superbe build with some nice polished Velocity Fusion rims on the hubs.
Put these red spoked Fulcrum wheels on the "Oscar Freire" bike
The Motta got kicked up a notch with some Delta Brakes.

I came here to revive the thread, and I see the Chuckk already did so. Thanks to you and to Hproduguidon and jamesdak so far.
Here is a picture from 2020 of my Burley Zydeco tandem. I think it was made in 2002.

Shortly after I learned of Arni Nashbar's passing last year, I found this Nashbar Road Mk II. When I got it, the bike looked like it had only been ridden that first summer and then hung up in the garage for the next 39 years. It only needed a clean and lube and some new consumables.
