I'm sick of red, white, and black.
Quote | Reply
So I'm in the market for a new bike, (probably a trek or cervelo) and I cannot seem to find color options on either of the manufacturers websites. (except for project one bikes)

Do manufacturers only like red, white, and black these days, or am I just not opening my eyes?

Not in to the pink much. (I'm not fast enough for it) But fluorescent green and white theme would be sick I think...

And my LBS only caries those two brands = ($$ saved)

not mine, but Titanflex basically lets you choose whatever paint color(s) you want.

What's wrong with the no-cost paint choices Trek provide? No need to go Project 1 as such. The black Speed Concept is very nice!

I'm lucky that I like red and red black and white are the team colours!

They are going to select the most widely accepted colors (read: best selling). Companies track which color schemes/patterns do well and which ones do not and then go from there...

I'm a huge red/ black / white fan (all my bikes have to have red)....but I agree. It is ridiculous right now.

Part of it is that the "black" is usually the natural carbon color, and red seems to go easily with that. This is compounded by the fact that many component companies have strong red colorways in their components (FSA, etc).

The blue is very nice and deep. Its nice because too many manufacturers seem to follow the same boring color schemes.

Beautiful bike, fast as all hell and I have yet to see more than 2-3 yellow bikes in any given race. Love my B2R!

The speed concept 9 has a green option. And the SC 7.5 is blue. No project one needed.
