Co-Motion Cascadia - British Racing Green w/ Pewter panels
Foundry Chilkoot - Blue and Titanium
Phil Wood Apple VeloXS frame- Pink to White fade
Cilo 531 Road - Purple
Klein MTB- Pink (to a little black)
Privateer Hybrid - Black
Salsa Timberjack - Titanium
Single Speed/Fixed Gear RandoCross FunTime Machine - Smoked Steel (I don't remember what Cinelli actually called it)
Specialized Langster - Rio (multi colored but mainly yellow and green)
1980s Trek 520 - Grey
Proteus Frame - Black
Sequoia Pro Module - Satin Reflective/Black/White Mountains (though I may repaint it at a later date before I start building it)
If anyone is interested in a 56ish 1984-5 Trek 520 (fairly stock with new cables and pads and a bit of overhauling) or an 80s Cilo 531 road with a mishmash of Ultegra 9 speed and 600 arabesque and some 7400 Dura Ace let me know because I am looking to maybe do a little trading for some parts. I have a lot of bikes as you might could see and really need to pair down a bit so I can work on other projects.

Matt black. Not a huge fan of the matt-ness, since I find it hard to keep clean. That aside though, the bike does (IMHO) look pretty damn good.

Steel is real
Whatever coloured frames fall on my lap that's my size, if they come..i will build it.
Sold my old Cannondale Saeco recently, was too big for me & Was nice in Red and Yellow lettering.
Lemme see, Cobalt blue - Record, Electric blue - Indi Australia, Pink & White - Repco Olympic, Red - Wheeler Crossline, Black - Mistral Le Mans. Raleigh Grand Prix - brown.
Looking around for another Cannondale road bike in Teal with Yellow lettering, NICE.

Canyon Airwave Blue, which is fitting as one of my favorite jerseys is B-17 Flying Fortresss themed - has the big WWII Army Air Corp star emblem (picture the Captain America shield), rivets, bomb insignia, etc...

I believe it is listed as raspberry red. It is a pretty color but not my favorite. Better than black, the idea is to BE SEEN by the cars for safety. black is not going to help do that. But after Dark mine is lit up like a Christmas Party anyhow. A lot of people in cars slow down and you can almost hear then think what is that? As a rule they like it, by the many that tell me cool bike! Its a semi recumbent called a Dream 26 made by Day 6. Comfy sturdy well build bike. Fun to ride.

Only concerns I'd have is surface rust developing coz the chrome itself can rust, yeah? Judging by old chrome forks i have or had.
But then again it would depend on the quality of the chroming i suppose, the steel rims from my 1977 Raleigh Grand Prix hasn't got one speck of rust on them, no pitting, amazed, they're French made.

If I had to pick a winner it would have been my 1973 Raleigh Professional with its blue mink/silver paint scheme. It was beautiful. I crashed it in a race in 1999 and bent the frame too badly to be worth fixing. I still have the frame, can't bring myself to throw it out. The components are still in great shape mostly in my spare parts bin waiting for a new home.

My Pretty Purple Princess Penelope is self-explanatory. The Liv hybrid is a boring, dull gray with not enough turquoise accents, so I'm accessorizing in mismatched shades of blue as much as I can. For some reason I'm desperate for a green bike, like olive green, something on which I can express my love of the Surly esthetic.
