Here's one....

1895ish Racycle "red" with Kelly bars, white walls, wood grips and rims. I think it was the way it was over 100 years ago.

Yes, there has been a CABE discussion about toc colours. I started this thread:

Quaker Bicycles (1896-1899) - All 1896 models were black. 1898 catalog lists colors as "Standard Quaker Tan", black, Brewster green and maroon depending on model and options.
