Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have to vote for the red/white option. I think that combo is always stunning.

Yellow. Decided to get an '06 Allez Expert instead of a tarmac as much because I didn't like the red colored tarmac as I did like the ride of the Allez. If yellow had been an option I would have gone the other direction.

My vote is for the red. I've got a red/white Tarmac and it looks better to me than the yellow.
