Green stuff

[marc two tone]

Tektro did some bits, such as canti hangers. RBG. Or some namesake.

I’ve actually used those DR cages (from Bicyclist!) on two builds so far! Really like that colour pop!

Don’t know if you can make much of it out. My Yo as got green Real brake levers, King headset, TNT hubs, RINGLE Twisters, Gravity Research brakes and Control Tech seat bolt.

Okay. That’s a spectacular build. How long did it take to track all that green down!?

Exactly what he said. Most aftermarket / boutique component manufacturers in the 90’s did green, the problem was the variety of shades. A few off the top of my head; Apple Green, Cool Green, Lime Green, Froggy Green, Olive Green...

… and assuming no interim fading to boot…

I'm fairly sure I once read that green can be a difficult anodising colour to get consistent results.

I've had quite a few green bits through my hands over the years but I'm guessing BITD it was probably the least popular ano option. Definitely difficult to gather parts with the same shade and scarce nowadays. Had some Cooks QR (but not cranks, don't think they did them) , Grafton brakes and levers, Toplines, Ringle, Pauls, Machine Tech, Gravity Research, Kooka, Caramba. Good luck with your search. A few pics, all sadly gone.

It happened in dribs and drabs. It started out with Caramba cranks with green spider and green rings. Problem was none of the green matched up as already mentioned by others on here.
