So I am not totally opposed to the black, white, and red designs. It just seems like a very large percentage of the carbon bike manufacturers out there are using it as an option on most of their models. In fact, there was a thread in the road forum a while ago asking why that color combination was so prevalent. If I had a choice to get an EMX-3, I'd probably pick a different combination, but if I got a good deal on the black/white/red combo, I'd jump on it like a trampoline! How's the ride?
