Backlit bikes

Just like the title says (that phrase was somebody's pet peeve, I think...)

My Colnago Super on the back deck at the end of the day:



I finally bit the bullet and swapped out the black 3ttt saddle for the tan drilled Arius since the bar tape has finally faded to almost the same shade as the saddle. I like it; it completes the drillium theme nicely.

That works for me

I know there's a real cool example on here of an orange Holdsworth that basically defines "backlit"; I hope we see it!

Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.

My dark blue Nishiki Landau looks pretty nice backlit by the bright, hazy ocean sky. As you can see, the ocean tilts downhill to the right hereabouts
