Your absolute worst factory colour schemes/ UV fade?

[legrandefromage]

I once had a Kona that went from bright green to some sort of icky mushy pea colour and after I was given this Ridgeback yesterday, I wondered what else was out there?

It really is this awful poo brown!

Re:

MBK frames must rate highly in this category I think.

Although I'd still like a Lotto team one!

Muddy Fox bright green fades terribly. Bizarrely though, that makes me more attracted to them

Re:

LGF, what colour do you think it was originally? Surely it didn't come out of the factory that colour :shock:

I do wonder about my eyesight sometimes. Not for the first time it seems I'm seeing a different colour to everyone else, is that not yellow?

Ridgebacks and Saracens were also bad from the 90s onwards.

Scott. Bright yellow went to dark brown, red to pink. Pure horror

Re:

My unknown frame was a badly faded odd pink colour:

Looks like it was it was originally a deep purple:

Re:

This what totally puts me off owning a Klein, the one time you want to take it out and show off that great colour scheme is in the sun, where it wont get the old bubbling paint disease caused by moisture... for such a high end frame they sure do have terribly easy fading paint.
