Pink to orange fade is glorious.

I bought a '96 Aeolus at the Madison swap years ago, primarily because of the blue/green flipflop paint. Not sure if it's a true fade but it looks great. Catalog photo doesn't begin to do it justice.

1989 Colorado II. I believe the colors are Onyx/Magenta. The black has metallic that only shows close up in the sun. This was team paint on a women's team, the name of which escapes me.

maybe next time I'll borrow one of these awesome orange fades.

Here's what I've got...

The pink/yellow IF and the pink/orange 6800 Serotta are blowing my mind a little bit.

Here's my humble offering, paint inspired by a classic Ritchey scheme.

Keep the fade simple, almost Saronni-esque.



This bike was my one and only link to Serotta when Serotta was not as the lawyer/dentist bike or the faster-backwards custom bike maker Serotta was later besmirched to be, but as a racebike from Serotta's short linkage with the European peloton.

This was my only Serotta because it was the only time the brand in its history had any relevance to me. I still own this frame - at one time I had plans to turn it into a fixie but it's got collector value to not just beat it up in an urban jungle.
