That green looks like it came straight from the 80's. Only get that color if you have a mohawk and 1st generation Sidi Genius shoes.

Green has more aerodynamic paint, therefore it's the obvious choice in terms of performance.

Both excellent. I like the lime green accent on the one though.

Its obvious that you should not pick a bike by its color, I think you should take all of the other considerations into account first i.e. components, bike fit, price. Their is nothing more fredly than a noobie buying his first bike based on color. However the grey is gorgeous and will make you look like a king ontop of a glorious steed. But really consider what it is your buying I think the grey is to much bike for you, anyways. Its always better to start off slow so I recommend the green one, if you stick with the sport and find you ride alot and are still riding next year then you can buy a nice bike like the grey one.

You gonna eat that?
Me too, but only because the bike is outlandishly pukey and the green carries that theme.

I like the green but I'd probably get the gray.
