Get some of those day-glow orange running shorts from the 80's, and some colored zinc sunscreen from the early 90's and you are good to go.

You're correct on the wagon theme, but size-wise, you're getting colder:

I passed on a similarly gorgeous bike, a Skykomish Marble Point. It was close, but reason and poverty prevailed.

Had one of these, although a tiny, bare frameset, go through my hands. Bought and sold for 10 quid. Was pretty bleached from the sun though. I believe my local bike kitchen has one of those handlebars laying somewhere, but that was pretty bleached too. Seems fluorescent paints are pretty sensitive to UV?

IMO, Chevrolet and Porsche had some "ugly" but "cool" paint schemes.
Nomad Tri-Five's had interesting paint schemes
What else needs to be said?
Best, Ben
