I see this is a old thread. The only orange bike I have is this 1972 Raleigh project that is almost ready for clear coat. The yellow bike is a Zeus project.

Oooh, my favorite color. I wasn't aware of this thread, some fine bikes. I intend to own a classic orange steel bike someday, even if i have to paint it myself.

I love an orange bike too. Had a couple recently but passed them on. Will find another someday.

Orange is one of my favorite colors for a vintage road bicycle. This mid seventies Marinoni is, perhaps, the prettiest to ever come my way...

I've been using this to haul my daughter's Trek trailer lately. I've built a VO Grand Cru/Raid wheelset for it (silver is more appropriate for this frame) and will pull the entire cockpit and give the Nitto Dirt Drop/Mustache setup a try. I was considering using blue cloth tape and now that I see CMAW's Mondia I'm definitely going to!
