Help - What color for my Orbea Diva
OK...I'm really indecisive. I am having the pleasure of building up a new road bike and have decided on all the really crucial stuff (group, wheels, handlebars etc.), but can't come to a conclusion on the color...It is agonizing, so I thought I'd see what the cyber-world friends might advise.
Here are the colors I'm stuck between:
The pink I've seen in person and it is sweet. Definitely hot and fast looking.
The green I have not seen in person and I'm a little concerned about it being a halloween slime color, but at the same time feel like if they got it right with the pink, the likelihood of them getting it wrong with the green is pretty slim. I can't even find that great of a photo on the web of the green....but the one below should help to give you an idea.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Gracias Amigos!

Orbeas fail, sometimes in catastrophic fashion if any of the posts here can be relied upon.
Buy a Cannondale.

My wife loves her pink/purple Diva. I say both colors because it looks different in various light.

I'll be the first to vote green (pistachio), only because all of the Divas I have sold have been pink
