Off grid off road
In Spain they call metallic silver ‘gris’
Here’s my newly acquired Alpinestars CR D300. Nought special, but she is Gris. Especially with the layer of muck.

Late 1960s-early 1970s FW Evans. It was originally silver, but after scrubbing all the grime and surface rust off, it is just dull grey. The plan is to get it painted over the winter.
FW Evans with lots of patina

I use the staircase to join two segments. Wearing old touring shoes. I only do this once a year or so, nice change of pace and adds a little variety.

I figure that any MADE IN USA Cannondale is vintage, so here's my ALMOST NEW mountain bike
2007 Cannondale Rush5 - disks, carbon swing arm and Lefty fork
Almost new by my standards, and like all Cannondales came with repairable front suspension problems.

I suppose my "single speed from hell" fixie would qualify, as long as you don't fixate on the rattlecan polka dots.
This was my touring bike in the early 1980s, set up back then with a 44-40 Stronglight 93, a 14-34 freewheel, and Suntour derailleurs. It then got stripped down to a 6-speed city bike for my sister, who had it from 1985 to 1997. She gave it back and I rebuilt it as a 3 speed, a 6 speed, and now as a singlespeed/fixie. It's geared low at 38/18, but I like it that way. It's easier to super-spin down a 17% downhill than to grind up that hill in a higher gear.

A very light grey bordering on Silver but I think it counts. Modified Specialized Hardrock that I converted to a 1 X 8 and added new Billie Bonker tires. Not sure the year, late 90's I think?
