Lets see... I have green, silver, white, charcoal, blue, red, chromed, gold, brown, and an orange bike in the works but no yellow bikes save for the little bit of trim on this.

+1 Very unusual palette and an elegant frame. What is it?
[edit] never mind; figured it out. Impressive work: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...th-pics/page10

It's easy to make an ugly yellow bike. Department store bikes in the 70's were often yellow. Puke!
And yet, some yellow bikes are spectacular. Aaron, I agree. It's a cheerful color, and I wanted to paint our bedroom yellow, but my wife couldn't deal with that.
Sunflowers literally make me laugh. They're so cheerful and goofy. I think I'll plant some for next summer.
My McLean has yellow highlights, too.

Yellow can definitely be a great contrast color.

Yellow suits me fine as long as there is a contrasting color. This is my '72-'76 Cinelli Leggerissimo pista.

I can't play at all - nothing of mine has even a speck of yellow highlighting.
**sigh**
There are some real winners here, though; thanks everyone for sharing!
