Shows you how long the flat black/black color style has been entrenched in the bike market. At this rate we may have this discussion again around 2030.

Blue is my fav BTW.

The colour that I always go for is on the bike that I can get for the best price.

Brit. Racing Green, always a good choice, however black or unpainted titanium is never a bad choice.

I agree, whatever colours come with the bike at purchase I keep. I might add a few cool stickers but I don't repaint nothing.

I have a variety of colors of bikes in my herd... black, white, red, even a yellow. I think "variety" will always be my favorite.
