Love this discussion!

Somehow we've ended up with a number of purple bikes: Trek Mountain Lion (kids bike), two older GT mountain bikes, Giant Innova hybrid/fitness bike, two Trek 930 purple to green fade mountain bikes (slightly different paint schemes from two different years)...and the only one I have a picture of right now is my Bottecchia ADR replica (this is an older picture and I need to snap another one with several changes).



Not mine, but this is what one of the Trek 930's looks like...

Show me your purple bikes.

I have a custom frame coming, and am trying to decide on a hue of purple. I have some purple ano Paul MiniMoto brakes and skewers, so the color will need to complement those:



The components will all be black (or dark grey, in the case of the Ultegra 6800 group).

I like these purples, a Rock Lobster and Speedvagen:




But also think something like a the current Spooky purple (which as ano, I know) or Dodge's "Plum Crazy" would be rad.





What should I do??

This is a bit too close to your Paul brakes perhaps...

this used to be mine. The frame that is. Before I divorced my ex wanted me to sell a ton of stuff. she said I didnt need it all. wasn't happy about it but i was trying to make my marriage work- it didnt!

I lost track of it and have since found it again. The guy has me in the #1 spot if he decides to sell it. Sadly he is using the wrong size post-27.0 instead of 27.2. Not sure why but i'm hoping if i get it back it's ok. I'd love to have it back.

Maybe a little too out there, but some of those purple flake paint jobs (think really fast bass boat) look sharp.
