Staats Pro XXL frame with a custom green powdercoat. The Onyx hubs are “antifreeze green” and half of the spoke nipples are Sapim’s “lime”.

Green always was my favorite color. Years ago I got turned down for a job for having been seen wearing neon green socks on a Friday evening. It turned out the job was for contract work for Phillip Morris whose executive in charge of the contract believed from a junk psychology best selling book that people who like green are evil.

I'm not sure if Cannondale's Anthracite has any green in it. It looks like it to me! But my better half claims I must be color blind. Oh well...
Can I get a pass for the green Panaracer's?
Stay safe and healthy all y'all!

I think in honor of my mum a Northern Irish Celt I will post my bike, I will post a picture of my Medici to pay tribute to the Orangeman. I always wear a wee bit of orange on St. Patrick’s Day in honor of my mum.

Orange and green , like the Irish flag with the white in the middle of the flag representing the peace between them

What is that in the background? a ufologists dream crash landing.

It is a Futuro house designed by the Finnish architect Matti Suuronen in 1968. I have lived in mine since 1977. I bought it as manufacture of these houses ended and I will never live in any other kind of house.In the early 1980's I painted it with glow-in-the-dark paint which I charged up with black lights. A drunk driver who saw it told me she thought Earth was being invaded and soiled herself. She gave up drinking forever.

I love this color, although it has faded a bit from its original brilliance.

Ha, you should know. Route 66 was a real hot spot for UFOs, and probably still is. 😁 I thought I saw a UFO last night, but it turned out to be just Carpinteria, & Santa Barbara further away. 😎 I dunno if El Camino Real has a history of UFOs or not, I’ll have to google it. 🤔
