Current Configuration 1995 Trek 800 Sport
I finally placed the Salsa Bottle holders for my 40oz reserve water bottles. Hondo, did I just recreate a beer hat for bicycles?
Fair weather commuter style.

Hello everyone. I like having green bikes. Do you have any?
1974 Raleigh International, repainted. I don't know what its original color was. There are no original parts.
At home
The USS Intrepid is in the background (in NYC)
##############################
Here is my 1971 Raleigh Super Course with very ratty paint. There are very few original parts on it.
Switching from 27" to 700c wheels, I was able to get 37mm tires on it.

I don't have any green road bikes but how about this 90's Peugeot mountain bike?

Not really vintage but it is a favorite bike and I bought it almost 10 years ago because I loved the color and it was steel. 2014 Salsa Vaya.

This one has been seen just about everywhere else but here.
40's Wastyn/Schwinn Paramount, original crank, HS, bars, stem, SP, binder bolt, HB and chaingaurd.
Redone in the 70's with Campus green, livery and Schwinn Approved Atom pedals of the day.

SekineSHR
I just picked up for $20 what I believe to be a SekineSHR. It has double butted chrome moly tubing (likely only the main tubes is my guess), chrome socks and 1/2 fork, steel rims laced to hi flange Sunshine hubs, Dia compe brakes, SR crank, and very good suntour derailleurs. Even the tires are in good shape. I can't say I've picked up too many 50 year old bikes that shift as nicely as this does.
My plans are to rehab it without sinking much money into it (just new brake pads, cables, and housing). These are pics of the bike as found in the wild:

Some beautiful bikes here !! Green is my favorite color and it's taken quite a while to get a Fuji S10-S green bike project on the road
When it's a single speed, drive side doesn't matter right

I've got another green bike in the works with this formerly red & white fade Shogun Primo Sport going to a green undercoat and sparkle turquoise topcoat

It’s starting to get spring like here so here’s my 69ish Peugeot AO-8; I love the green of this as opposed to the later darker greens
I also am looking forward to riding this 1952 Paff (Italian city bike) around town once more…

Not as nice as Polymorseph's same model bike posted earlier in this thread, but here is an '86 Schwinn Voyageur that I refurbished recently.
Too big for me obviously, but I can ride it, and they aren't easy to find. I'd been looking for one for a long time because of the fabulous color.

I repainted this with seafoam green automotive paint and metal-flaked clearcoat. So it’s not the original color, which was silver, but not much else on it is original either.

Son's bikes. His favorite color is green. Any shade, but the brighter... more neon... more obnoxious... the better, in his opinion.
He outgrew this one:
And is on another (red) bike until he grows into this one:

I bought this well-used frame last year from a friend at a swap meet. It may or may not be a Belgian Groene Leeuw ("Green Lion"). Since the seller's partner is the local Groene Leeuw historian, I will probably never know.
Anyway, Groene Leeuw is a rather famous brand, and has a rich racing history, so I decided to assume it is a Groene Leeuw for now, and order a matching jersey, as it is one of the most iconic jerseys from the era.
Mrs non-fixie suggested I take this bike to this year's Retro Tour of Flanders. I may well do that, as Arthur ("Tuur") Decabooter won the event for Groene Leeuw in 1960:
