Subtle Colours
Tan, grey, maroon, you name it, bikes have come in number of less than flashy colours, and while these bikes might not grab attention as quickly as bright orange or lime green they deserve a second look. So let's see you subtly toned bikes!
To start off a close up of my newly acquired and yet-too-be-cleaned grey and tan '85 Panasonic Touring Deluxe. I'll take a full shot once it's been properly cleaned.

As far as yellow bikes go, this Centurion Semi-Pro is pretty subtle.
And this brown, brown, brown Raleigh Super Course is about as subtle as a bike can be.
