[MENTION=61614]verktyg[/MENTION], I think you're stretching the meaning of green, though I like the bikes.
[MENTION=209894]Velognome[/MENTION], it's gorgeous. Is the ride similar to the look?

With out getting all fixie mystical, ......Yes it's similar but better! For 90% of my riding I prefer it over my multi-speed bikes.

Now those are green bikes worth being envious of. That Legnano I love especially. That detailing like the red stripe between chrome and paint on the fork and stays and on the fenders and those high flange hubs just looks great.

Not a special bike, but got to represent British racing green.

[MENTION=355417]JTTDF[/MENTION], the Sports is a special bike, even though it's not rare. And yours is a fine specimen!

[MENTION=193944]Roger M[/MENTION] I love your Peugeot.

@verktyg some of those appear to be on more of the blue spectrum I really like your Mid 70s Alpine.

Aqua can be green or blue, same thing with Bianchi Celeste. The 3 Day-Glo ones are definitely greenish!

OK, I'm in. Any excuse to post my current amour, a 1973 Flandria.




Love that Legnano above. I would sell nearly every bike I had for that one.

Couple of green ones, first I've still got but haven't ridden for ages and should get rid of:



Second was my first restoration and I still love the colour, but this one I did sell:

Thanks! Can't tell from the pix, but the former owner had this hanging near a big window, for more than a couple of years, so the right side of the frame is a shade lighter than the left. Not as cool as two different colors on each side, but kinda different...

I found this in the trash. Gave it to a mechanic at the LBS who helped a buddy set it up as SS/FG. Poster child of 70's Boom bikes. Gitane Gran Tour de Luxe.
Finding this bike led me to this site and began my hobby of spending way too much money fixing up old bikes.

My Carlton Criterium. It was a nice bike but not really suited to my needs and space was becoming an issue so I sold it, I still regret selling it.

As always, great bikes VR.

What ring sizes are you running on your IF Cross?

I'm switching up my Merckx a bit until the snow hits here and I'm open to a new idea.
