Another blue Trek - 1980 Trek 412 that's been morphed into a sporty and versatile city bike courtesy of some Jitensha flat bars and a pair of 38mm Soma shikoro tires.

I have these two. The Turbo is a good match for the Lemans above. The Iris color is hard to beat.

I have a few.
$40 CL find.
Micheal Bornstien built while he was at Strawberry.
Very cool bottom of the barrel Bianchi.
Very tall Bottecchia, repainted, no livery.
Too small Merz edition Allez, it and the taller replacement frame still languishing.
Fantastic Merckx 10th tribute, also still languishing and likely to have its parts moved to another project and get a much more correct group that came from the too small frame that was traded for it.

I remarked in my first post on this thread that I was surprised how many blue bikes I had. Now I have even more to add. I used to think red was my favorite color, until at some point my wife pointed out that I kept buying blue cars. The same seems to be true of bikes.
