| Well, it looks like we've got another Greg LeMond fan on our hands. That respray is pretty close to the paint job on LeMond's Botteccia in 89. What's the bet it was a LeMond fan Team Pro, turned into a modern LeMond fan bike in 89/90???? |
Exactly what i thought. |

I'd ride it like it is for a while, especially until the daylight hours get longer.
I have 2 bikes that I built in the early 90s that are painted "Dayglo" chartruse green.
The guys at the LBS I was dealing with at the time used to tell me "Chas. friends don't let friends ride 'neon'"!
I used to tell them "It's Dayglo not neon and I'd rather be laughed at by many than carried by six".
My touring bike:
My 700c MTB:
All kidding aside, that color is really visible especially in late afternoon and early evening when I tend to ride a lot. I have several jerseys and wind breakers in the same color and they're highly visible in low light.
Electric Chas. |
