My son enters college this fall, so I put together a bike for

Maybe disguising the bike isn't worth the effort for today's

I once painted my best bike canary yellow to avoid theft. It
certainly gets no admiring looks.

Cripes! I had a Medici that was the brightest yellow Simonetti could
put on it, with red decals. I loved it, and at least one other person
(the buyer) liked it, too.

I still have seller's regret, because for some reason, that was the
fastest bike I've owned.
