Those "multi coloured stripey bikes" only look older and dated to you because you know when they came out. If they never existed, and a new super-modern-geo bike came out with the same colors right now, it would not automatically seem older and dated, because it's not the colors, it's your head associating the colors with older bikes.
When I see all-black bikes (or black or white cars), to me they look like someone just wanted an appliance that they would more easily/quickly sell when they grow bored of it or decide they must have the next new thing, not a powerful tool for enjoyment that they will appreciate and take care of.
