Blue's my favorite bike color, and I have two in this color. One is borderline C&V, and one isn't hardly close to C&V.

Some of these are stunning! I have only recently come to realize how much I love blue bikes, especially with chrome/silver accents and components.
One of my favorite things to see on a ride is a blue bike underneath me and a blue sky reflected in a polished quill stem.
I'm still quite enamored with how this turned out after powdercoat and a 650B wheel swap.

Not as old or as nice as most of the others here, but i love this old thing, it rides well, fits me well and I've used it a lot more than any of my other bikes by far, should really have posted it in the drop bar mountain bikes thread

Oregon is a cute little town, I'm hoping to get back down there this summer. I think the Great Lakes Randonneurs have a Populaire around that area that I'd like to try out as well.
