Love reading the "Show off your bike" thread, and some great stuff on there, but wow, so many bikes now seem to be black, or grey, or back and grey, or grey and black, or white (better than black or grey but still a bit meh) or silver (best of the dull colours). Then you have blues so dark they look black.

So lets have a bit of colour. I'll start with my Boardman ADV 8.9.

My (old now) Canyon Ultimate 8.0.

Paid a lot more for it to be in Blue over black (has to go up from 105 to Ultegra...).

Coming up for 8 years old now and still impeccable to ride. Even when weighed down bike packing across Europe.

When the time comes to replace it I'll be going brightly coloured again!

1986 Raleigh…reasonably colourful ? It’s a pearl white & looks stunning in the sun. I’ve had it about 20years or so, doesn’t get used much but always great to ride when I do.



My 2016 SuperSix Hi-Mod. Maybe doesn’t look it on the pictures but it’s a very bright metallic silver flake paint with plenty of green for good measure. Its blingy hue has had me contemplating a respray but instead I’ve mothballed it for now while I decide its fate. It’s been replaced with a very subdued looking TCR SL.

That Realeigh Team brings back so many memories of my teen riding years in the 80's, even down to the wheels which I upgraded on mine with a pair of Mavic SUPs bought from an ad in Cycling Weekly smile

My other 3 bikes are light grey, dark grey and black... Although one frame has been sent of for a respray, and will be suitable for this thread when I get it built back up.
