Show me your fade!

You got a bike with a fade paint job? Let's see it! Red to blue, black to white, purple to yellow, whatever you have that's got a little bit of color blend should be posted here.

Sorry, I don't. But I saw a kid on a really nice orange/red fade Serotta the other day. When I complimented him on it and asked the year, he said, "early 90's I guess; I'm not sure. My Grandpa gave it to me." Made me feel pretty darn old.

I owned this garage queen for a short while, road it a couple times, it was nice but it was a "B" model and it made me think of McDonalds so I sold it.

Even had fade bar tape (which I still have actually... about the only piece I still have as I GENEROUSLY gifted the saddle to a friend... very difficult to let go a buffalo rolls as they don't make them anymore, but I was not using it and have a NIB ti rolls waiting to go back on my Marinoni.

Dang it Craven, you beat me to it! I had such a good high top fade pic lined up as well...

My wife's Marinoni has a nice light blue-white fade, with a translucent blue pearl over the whole thing (except the chrome). It's quite nice:



Now built with full Tri-colour 600 8-speed STI for her riding enjoyment.
