My 1961 Allegro looks downright plain compared to some of the beautiful bikes above, but I love riding it.

It's old and has developed a lot of patina over the years, kind of like me. For the first time today I heard myself referred to as an "older gentleman." Perhaps the Allegro is also an older gentleman.

Decided to repost with three colors or more:
2000 Marin Argenta - Billato built frame.


1981 Mondia Super with the three color fade


1985 Raleigh USA Team USA - National team paint job


1991 Miyata Elevation 5000


1987 Specialized Team Allez - built by David Tesch and painted by Brian Baylis. Two color fade, but a multicolor fireball down the top tube.


2003 Trek 5200 - Carbon and blue, but silver and white highlights


2004 Cannondale R3000 - Polished aluminum with blue, white and yellow graphics

Columbus Aelle tubing. Done a few Death Rides, a few centuries, and raced on it for a few years. My most comfy bike. Probly have 30,000 miles on it.

Beautiful bikes everyone!

No longer own it, but it was a fun ride. One or two sizes too small

Yes, it qualifies if the definition of multi- is “more than one.” But if you’re using the “many” definition, then you would need three colors.

Welcome to July. Once again, it’s time to post pictures of multi-colored bikes, whether they have two or more colors.

Multi-color usually only in accessories.






Sometimes I even add components to fit the color scheme.




Nearly everything on this bike uses the four color Dean color scheme. You can see it but the brake rotor bolts match the crank bolts.

My son's bike of many colors, fresh off of a metric century. Yes, I admit it's not exactly C&V but it does come from an iconic name in cycling.
