Gotta love black
Here's my humble contribution, an unknown Asian frame from '77
I've painted the fluting on the stem and cranks black to match the bike

Back to black bikes: I just realized I have another one, languishing somewhere at the bottom of my parts bin. It's a Batavus something or other. Looking at the pic again, I'm thinking it might be a nice entrant to the latest clunker challenge, as I paid €25 for it:

Holey moley. Not to mention my Austro Daimler entry above used to be yours too!
1) Looks like the smaller Schwinn might be extra. PM if ever selling.
2) Do you have a photo gallery of the Confente? Edit: Found them. Just wow.

Black bikes for December: Longtime 1986 Trek 400 Elance, and (worse pic bike-wise) my commuter, a 1968 Raleigh Sports.

The first bike I ever bought, which sad to say I no longer have: Centurion Le Mans RS, mostly black. I'd really love to still have that one in the garage. Honestly I never appreciated it or even rode it like I would now. (I also didn't know *anything* about bikes -- no Internet back then.) This is someone else's bike, but mine was just like that, except I think he's upgraded his brake levers and maybe seat and rewrapped his bars.
And my latest, new to me a few weeks ago, a steel 1992 Trek 720 which I hope will hold up to grinding up and down hills into the future. Still needs outfitting.

My 1986 Schwinn Sierra in Black Chrome. I'm the original owner. I recently put back on as much of the original equipment as I could.

I generally prefer color but the absence keeps this one in the stable.

Yup. Goes along with some other JPS references earlier in this thread. Helps if one is old enough and a race car geek to remember the Lotus Formula 1 cars driven by Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi and Nigel Mansell in those colors.
