A special month as promised and the theme will be splatter and fade, referring to those iconic colour schemes of the late 80's and early 90's. Enter what you like (within the usual time period) as long as the paintwork is a splatter or a fade. Expecting a nice variety this month - might even have a go myself :)

Useful for the poll if you can structure your nomination as follows:

username's Year Manufacturer Model , e.g. John's 1990 Kona Lavadome
Image(s) MAXIMUM OF 2
Finally please include a link to your machine in the relevant Reader's Bikes section. If you don't have an existing post now is the time to add one with as much detail as you like!

Nominations thread will run for the entire month. Entries submitted after October 31st will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

I imagine, and hope, there will be some really nice bikes entered this month. For now though i will enter this to start the ball rolling as it were :)

Lovely Mark. If I pull my finger out we’ll be going head to head!
 
Great theme! Looking forward to seeing the entries. Should be a real feast!

In love with Mark's Explosif already. Those Track Two forks are just awesome as is the the two-tone XT chainset. A really beauty.
 
Re:

From the sublime to the MBK

I'm sure I've entered this at least 50 times already so consider this as a lesson in how NOT to do a fade

1989's finest fade / worst fade ever...

Great theme this month. Sadly i haven't got any Splatter yet, but here's a bit of fade if it counts.
Tomianson's 1993 Klein Attitude Moonrise (a linear fade i believe).

hopefully these pics show the fade well, and an inquisitive whippet.
