I don't have a better photo, sorry. 1973 Fuji S10-S (Special Road Racer). I ride it on the special road race to work sometimes.

T S Isaac
A really lovely frame built by Tim Isaac when he was a starving framebuilder in the late 70s, before he went on to bigger things at Trek, etc.

Yellow is one color I never think about, but when I see a yellow bike I'm like "I need a yellow bike..."
This should count, I built this up for a friend's kid a while back

Haro Impulse Comp, a '90 I think, picked up this past May:
Crazy fun to ride, and they pulled out all the stops on the frame design. There're little gussets where the downtube and headtube come together, stamped with Haro chevrons. And the rear triangle is asymmetrical. Rear rim is obviously not centered between the axle nuts.
I theeeeenk this is my only yellow bike. Honestly drawing a blank right now....

Did’nt think I could play this month as my only yellow roadie is only 18 carbon fibre years.
Then out in the garage between rain showers, I spotted Gary. 1991(?), SuperCalibre. A cross-country racer, designed by GFisher, produced in Taiwan with SunTour XC Comp, 7 indexed.

There's one of those ^ for sale here in my size. Don't need it, don't have room for it, trying not to be tempted.

I have two that are partially yellow. The one on the right is a Calfee Luna Pro that I had Calfee repaint for me to match (more or less) Greg's 1991 Calfee CF bike. The one on the left is a recent acquisition for me and is an early 90's Maillot Jaune w/ Columbus TSX tubing

So here’s my Calfee, not vintage yet, but what the hey, it’s Yellow and Tour de France proven.

Not the best shot but my favorite Bike that I have been riding since it came from the LBS in the early 70s. Rock solid.

Oh hey, I have a yellow bike!
This is my 1985 Torpado Nuovo Sprint. First photo is of the day I bought it. Second is from this weekend. Took her for quick ride to the ocean and back. I swapped out the bars and did black tape to match the tires & saddle.

1971 Motobecane Grand Record
1971 Motobecane Grand Record that I finished restoring this spring. Almost all of the components are catalog spec correct.
The frame was in really nice condition with original paint. I remember lusting over these bumble bee bikes back in the early 70's.
While not yellow I have a pair of 1991 Lemond Team Z bikes. One NOS, the other with less than 200 miles on it.

1986 Trek 1000 (I don’t know the vintage of the portajon)
(edit: I didn’t notice the toolbag was drooping until I got done with the ride, and then I see in this pic that it was already hanging here, oops)
