I assumed it was a stock offering but I guess dunno, now that you mention 
it.  That fatbike summit event, where I saw the bikes and where that 
particular photo was taken, occurred in my little town. So maybe they were 
a special edition, made for that purpose?  Pretty cool looking though.  I 
do like your thinking.

Having (ex) in-laws from Illinois and Nebraska, I can tell you that Surly 
is John Deere green & yellow, so technically a machine. But not machine 
green.

It is nomenclature, like a lot of color names, that has quite a bit of 
latitude. Which is why graphic designers, etc. use Pantone codes and such, 
while poets, writers, household paint chip creators, Ralph Lauren, and 
other romantics use color descriptions like "machine green."

Wow!  Was that a stock color combo or were they specially painted for some 
event!   I've never seen that combo of colors and I've seen a lot of photos
