Here’s how the 1980s got its colorful look

I found a few more. I closed the original tab but I think it said they’re a 1989 model. white saddle, bar tape, and cable housings! (purple one has an aftermarket saddle)

Mine was the second one from the bottom.

Don’t judge me.

Wow, the rendering and perspective are just awful; I concur that IS quintessential 80’s right there…

I think that one is the most quintessentially 80s-looking of them all. Neither good nor bad. Dated, sure. But the colors theme nicely. Mine’s just plain ugly and stupid. Bright orange and purple is a bad look. It clashes. “Video Rock”? It’s bad.

I adore that terrible movie. Coke-dealing motorcycle ninjas vs. a tae kwan do rock band!

I went to design school in the 1980s, and I always got a Memphis vibe from Pee-wee’s Playhouse.

Anyway, you can’t discuss Memphis without mentioning
