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'd go with blue bar tape then you'll have all the primary colors there.

Rainbow tires too, Also fill the tubes with methane. Sure it's heavier but the ladies will jump on you when you tell them about it.

I love white bikes. So clean and classy looking. White beats black any day. Right now I'm looking for my first carbon fiber bike and it will definitely be white.

So, show us your WHITE CARBON bike. Think I'll start a new thread on that. (Can't tell what a lot of these bikes are made of without looking it up.)

Also, tell us what your white carbon bike weighs. I'm looking at a Scott CR1 Team which only weighs 17 lbs. loaded.

Cannondale SuperSix

Here's mine:


Actually, I wasn't sure if I should post this in the "Show me your WHITE bike" thread, or the "Show me your BLACK bike" thread
Cannondale classifies the color as WHT, so I'll go along with that...

My 52cm 2011 Tarmaction Comp. Just picked up from the shop, new cables and housing plus 52/36 Praxis chain rings installed. The shifting is so much better than the stock Grey Sram Red rings that came with the bike. This is right after a 26 mile 2600' ride up my local climb (HW 9 in Saratoga, CA).

Yea, I realized that after I took the image and tried to put a bottle in there. Straight noob. Never had put one on before, wasn't paying attention, since been fixed. I also realized too late that I was in the small ring.

The strange thing is that a bottle would still go in there. Don't ask how I know.

Pic with new 2011 HED Ardennes. Just came back from the first ride with them on and the difference I felt most was with the cornering and comfort. I use to feel so sketchy coming around corners but now it's as if I got brand new tires or something (re-used my gp4000s).

edit: excuse the small chainring fail

This paint scheme is really classy too.
