Opinions on Motobecane Fantom Cross Uno color
Hi guys, I've decided to buy one of the Motobecane Fantom Cross Uno bikes but can't decide on color. Should I get black or white? https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/uno.htm I figure if I can't decide, maybe a majority vote is in order.

White. That's coming from someone who usually loves black bikes too. I don't see a full image of the white bike but they used to have it and it looks much better. I think the white lettering on the bike looks better with a white background as opposed to black, if I recall.

The bikesdirect guy posts on the singlespeed forum. He posted some pix of some new colors which looked like they were from the mid 70s. Metallic gold, green, stuff like that. I think they were of the kilo tt. Maybe they'll soon broaden the selections for the Fantom Cross Uno.

heres the link for the TT's, a great bike I had mine stolen but I'm sure you could throw some cross tires on it https://bikesdirect.com/products/merc...t_stripper.htm
