Tarmac SL2 Color scheme
Having trouble deciding on a color scheme for SL2, so far leaning towards the RAW/KL (Hollow Text) and the Team Saxo (white with blue accent)
What are your opinions?

First one. I'd even pay more for that one over the others.
Closest thing to not having all the gaudy stickers on it. I'm still kicking myself for not bidding more on an SL2 in that color that was on ebay recently.

Easy. Saxo Bank has the hottest SL2's ever. Besides, it just came out so barely anyone will have it. That gun metal blue is very pretty.

The Saxo colors look really good in person. I probably would have gone for the raw keyline if it was available in team geometry but I really like my black/red colors as well.

This hasn't made it easier haha...The saxo colors would win immediately if not for the blue.
Still really like the Raw KL though, Decisions decisions...

I have the Raw/KL and I like it a lot, you don't see this combination as often.

I have to say I like the idea of the Team Saxo, due to it be relatively new and not so widespread. Same goes for the raw...
Outside of the forum, everyone is telling me to go with the Saxo...

I have the red '09. I like the raw bike too but I matched up a set of red/black Fulcrum Racing One's with red bar tape and it looks much faster than I'll ever be able to ride it.

Think I've decided on the Team Saxo scheme, looked at some "real life" photos and it looks great, the blue doesn't stand out as much as I originally thought.
Question, is it only available as a frameset, or can you get it in a module?
