We need some orangey-good MTB representation on this thread. A good friend of mine calls this the "Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Clown Bike." (Can't quite figure out what he's getting at, there 
)

^ NICE - you've been holding out on us! I'd like to see more pics of that Super (I'm assuming its a late-70s model with the metallic-orange paint); it's beautiful. And the neon-orange on the Shark almost fried my eyes 
Nice Pug, too - that looks all-original; is it?
Pretty little collection of orange bikes you've got there.

The wifes Pug is all original. Answered a CL post that said "$15 or bike goes to dump at end of day". A true saved from the dump.
Loving all the Orange. Keep em coming!

Bikes: A few...
Hmmmm... The only ORANGE bike I ever had was my old 23" frame '74 Fuji Special Tourer, complete with the blue plastic handlebar wrap
Sorry, I can't find a postable pic of one... But here's a linky
Actually I had two - the first stolen after only three months F9B18529, and replaced with F9B18546. The latter was sold to my buddy's sister to partially fund the purchase of my LBS's 'scratch & dent' '75 S-10S bought new in late '76... which I still have today!

The only Orange I've had through my hands, a late 70's Beacon, (dime-store brand) that got some old chrome Schwinn wheels, a flatbar with more modern shifters, and was passed on to a friend of my son's who needed a bike and couldn't afford one.

My Woodrup frame needs repainting — badly and no way around it. I settled on orange, but it had to be the right hue. I finally found it when the new Toyota Aqua models came out. 90% of all Japanese cars are either white, black, silver or other somber colors. But finally there are a few alternatives. Here is the orange I want. I just need to walk onto a car lot and beg for the paint code. The color is better in real life — more vibrant. You orange lovers out there might look out for export cars in the same color.

No need to beg, if the drivers door is unlocked, it usually inside the front door on a tag/sticker. Most of the time it's three digits.,,,,BD
I just did a quick search, and I believe it's 4V7? Habanero is the color name?

I usually like the more muted metallic pearl oranges.....Kinda like this...
