One of the nice things about getting old is you get to experience a lot of new things, sometimes more than once. When I saw the title of this thread, I didn't remember having seen it before. As I looked at the first few posts I thought, "I could post my Viner. I wonder if the Serotta qualifies?"
Then I got to post 25 and saw that some young whippersnapper had already beaten me to it.

You all are so lucky I can't find an old picture of my Ronald McDonald colored (yellow, red and black) Davidson as it would ruin the pleasant tour through these bikes.

In no particular order:
Ooooohhhh....
Barracuuuuuda.......
The purple anodized pedals, handlebar and brake calipers are all fading, but it still gets some attention. Low BB and 175mm cranks make it largely unsuitable for even moderate trails, so next op is street/gravel tires.
Univega Alpina Comp.
Yes, it's a VERY subtle fade between orange and orange-red.
Freebie RockHopper barn find:
It shed about 1kg weight when I cleaned off the barn dust. Only needed tires.
Diamond Back Apex
I also have a too-small Ascent in that same scheme.
'86 Ironman
This one's kinda tame compared to the MVs and the later year smokes/fades.
Left out the splatter-cycles since splatter wasn't mentioned as qualifying.

Picked it up cheaply for the Campagnolo parts, but haven't been able to find the courage to part it out, as it's so nice.

Isn't just about any bike with fancy paint going to qualify?
Here are my usual suspects. Brian Meyers and Joe Bell paint on the customs. No idea about the Billato/Marin save that it's a tacky fade.
