show me your fades

I'm having a cross bike built up and thinking late 80s neon fade for the paint and then hang a bunch of black bits/wheels on this thing. Not looking for classy here looking more for hypercolor meets New Coke meets early Miami Vice. Looking for more inspiration about color choices. Anyone have pictures of anything like this they are pleased with? Not looking at harlequin paints or splatters or other relics from this era. thanks

also posted "across the hall" but wanted to get some input here as well.

Not the craziest color scheme out there, but I sure love it.




If I were you, I would check out some of the classic Serotta fades in the "Custom" subforum on this site. So good.

Those are the very bikes that came to mind when I read the first post.

Nice.

I was actually looking for a Klein Aeolus that I saw years ago, but hey I'll take it.

This was the Klein I was thinking of, just can't find a built up photo.

Pink to orange fade is glorious.

1991 Serotta NHX. Colors were one of the stock options on the Colorado II that year. Fluorescents are prone to fade but have held up very well on this bike. Check out circa 1990 Kleins, especially MTBs.

Klein

Isn't the paint on the Klein holographic paint? Changes colors in the sunlight?
