Show me your purple bikes.

Been thinking of having my CSI repainted in a really dark metallic purple. None of the purples here are quite dark enough for what I have in mind. This one is closest.

Not a fanboy of Spesh but like the purple they did on a limited run of the new Allez Sprint frames.

Not my bikes or pics but I dig them.

Ya know, a little like this:

Ooh, another excuse to post a picture of my gravel bike...tee hee. Seriously though since your brakes are purple I would go with something else for the frame color, I like contrast. On the other hand if you are going to go all crazy early 90's MTB style ano then purple on purple sounds great, wonderfully hideous. Have fun with the build!

I have a new "incoming" custom purple frame. Hard to describe the actual "shade" of purple but it's not lavender or light purple for sure. Probably closer to the either the DeRosa or Masi. I "found" the color on a mylar balloon, bought the balloon and sent a chunk of it to the painter to match. Can't wait to see it, always wanted a purple bike but could never find the "right" purple.

I had my 1995 Serotta Atlanta Concept painted purple. I don't know how to upload the photos again in this thread, but here's a link:

First paceline purchase. Hard to capture the color -- candy plum over charcoal silver, if I recall correctly. Needs a bar tape refresh!

This is one of mine, it's changed since this picture...



We also have a Trek Mountain Lion (kids bike), an older GT mountain bike (can't remember the model), Giant Innova hybrid/fitness bike, two Trek 930 purple to green fade mountain bikes (slightly different paint schemes from two different years).

Don't forget one of the most iconic cycling purples... Fat Chance's Team Violet (more lavender, but who's counting?), which is actually a pearl purple:
