So, I was googling for orange glitter vinyl, because now I am all full of big ideas, and I couldn't find that, but I did find some vinyl that is made to look like carbon fibre, so I figured I would share the link with those who can appreciate it. Here you go! They even have orange!

I have last years Trek 1000. I bet the paint job was more expensive on this bike then the solid color they have this year

My orbea euskaltel euskadi (2002) has an orange Selle Italia turbo Flite - with yellow letering; matches the team colors rather nicely.

the orange tires have died since this pic was shot - replaced with blackwalls.....I did score a nice seatbag in orange with yellow trim which matches the saddle perfectly......

Yes! Orange in all it's configurations is the true color of the bicycle. I love the coppery-orange color of this Mercian. https://www.merciancycles.com/frame_i...ocita_vl_1.jpg

Ditch 'em? I'd be going nowhere fast if I didn't have wheels or a crank (girly or manly)!

The tires did suck and I replace mine with orange Vredsteins. Nice.
Are you talking about the Bontrager race lite rims? What's wrong with them?

ORANGE? DID SOMEONE SAY......ORANGE???

I am the king of orange. So much so, I based my entire business.....nay, my LIFE around it....

Looks very red there, but digital cameras freak out when trying to photograph pearlescent paints.

Just to show my commitment to all things orange, I even have orange hair....(please excuse me while I stuff my face with a Powerbar)....
