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

Seriously, YOU decide so you won't regret it.

Yellow or black. Black will be the new pink soon, so you'll be ahead of the game.

It's blue right now. For whatever reason, I'm getting real sick of it. Black/Blue is always the safe choice isn't it?

I'm leaning towards orange. I know I'll probably regret whatever color I choose ... just thought it might be fun to see what everyone else thinks. I Don't want a lot of people puking over my choice of orange or yellow.

I'm often partial to red, but there's something about a nice orange bike too. (thinking of some salsa frames). so I'd go with........ orange as long as it's a nice orange. could be easy to get the color wrong.
