Yes, you can have it all. The most aero =-) bike in the world is also the fastest and the greenest. My QR Cd 0.1!! (ULT) I just need to learn how to post pics here and I'll show you!

I've got the same one. It's a snap to find it in T1.

who cares, get a bike that fits and build an engine thats bigger than the other guys, Dear white, red, black, green, orange, yellow, blue, white, purple and for F's sake pink: ON YOUR LEFT

If you're buying new, why not consider a custom build where you can choose any color you want?

Are you a 6 year old girl? If not, who gives a shit about the color?

Red bikes are the fastest.

Again one more reason I ride a litespeed.. nothing like the color of titanium.

Red, black, and white consistently outperform other colors when coupled with another option. That said you'll see some team issue models deviate from that pattern and the "blackout" look is also gaining popularity as the high end hue.

For 2012 we're trying some new colors that deviate from our standard matte black with white decal. The first 2012 bike we showed was our new flagship 'cross bike which is matte carbon with neon chartreuse and silver decals. As another poster pointed out, we've tried bringing green and orange into some higher volume models. It seems however that these colors often have a love-or-hate reaction. Tom Demerly recently reported in his TriSports U review that our F4 looks better without the orange accented colors, I doubt we'd get any complaints from a black and white bike using black tires. Less flash? yes. Fewer sales? no.

We'll keep trying, we'll launch the 2012 website right around 9/1 along with many others. I think you might see some Leopard Treks, Garmin Cervelos, and Rabobank's Giants sporting something other than RB&W.

Maybe I'm boring, but I don't mind the current predominance of red/white/black. I used to have one yellow bike and one red bike and I had only two choices - either had to say f- it and not worry about what things looked like or spend time and money buying extra gear just to make both bikes look decent. (I wavered back and forth between both opinions). Most noteworthy, my better/lighter race wheels happened to look like crap on my yellow bike and buying a second set just for aesthetics wasn't ever going to be an option.

Red/black/white is boring, yes. But it has certainly made things easier. With my current stable of bikes (one red, one white) I can use whatever gear I want/need and things still look relatively decent.

It's obvious you have never actually seen one in real life, they are actually gold. That stock photo's colors are all out of whack.

I am not a fan of red and black, although it is classic and timeless. My 26" is red and black. I do like white, though...my 29er is white with black accents, and it's very sharp, IMO. My road bike is yellow with black; my tri bike is black and yellow. Both conveniently chosen to match my alma mater ;-)

Really, though, what i want is orange. (2004 QR Caliente, 2005 Felts S22, etc. Pretty, shiny, lovely orange. Mmmmm)

Amen. And to the jersey manufacturers reading this, I'm tired of black, navy blue, white, or red jerseys.

Surprisingly hostile tone for a thread on bike colors.


Quote from Chance Regina of Blue Competition Cycles, "You really should see the color in person...it isnt brown...or goldenrod (whatever that is...not going there)...it is a copper color very similar to a shiny new penny."


from this thread: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/..._latest_reply;so=ASC




Anyway, check your facts before you correct people, especially if you're wrong. Regardless of the name, I like that color on the bike.

Take the old bike, send it to Hot Tubes or a local painter (less than $500?), then make a few upgrades to the bike (new saddle, bar tape, new cassette). New aero helmet to match!

And over at De Soto, the red and black options are rarely/ never available on clearance at the end of the season. Yellow? Yup, can get that.

Personally, I love the red/ black/ white schemes. I love the colors in general, and it excites me more to put those on and go race than to put on yellow/ green/ orange/ purple/ whatever. If that makes me a six year old girl, so be it.

I apologize, I didnt mean to come off that hostile and rereading it I totally set the wrong vibe.
But yes I agree the blue is nice.

Ahh dangit, if you're actually nice then it means I stupidly misread the post. No worries, I blame the absence of tone in typing. I'm sorry for responding in kind. Damn the internets!

It's ironic that I'm posting at all in this thread anyway given that my bike is black, white, and red.

Awesome.

That is gorgeous. I love matte black. I quoted this reply just so others can see the picture again.

The actual complete bike will be even sicker. The reynolds wheels decals will be all black, black sram red. Going to be hot.

I'm probably one of the few exceptions here, in that I'm around high end carbon everyday, and have been for years. To me the all black bikes are stunningly boring. I like colors, metallic colors, and Jewel tones. I love the Blue bikes just for that reason. Got a bike with 3 tow weave? Meh. Got a super nice paint job with some color? Now we're talking. But that's just me.


I saw a gal this weekend at BSLT on a powder blue tri bike, not sure what frame, with a powder blue disc, and matching helmet. She must have passed me 3 times, and every time, I couldn't miss her. Had flowers on her disc, too, I think.

I saw lots of super nice bikes this weekend, but the ones that stood out where the ones in metallic color. .....Oh, and the Specialized Transitions. Strangely, it was really hard to differentiate the P4s from Shivs at a distance....as I said, they're boring. But fast.

Looks even better in Matty Green, but that's what I have. Now, my road bike is black... and white... with some red lettering. And my cross bike isn't too different (just more black). I guess manufacturers DO like that.
