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

Graphite looks better IMO. Those red ones look to be a different shade of red, which may look a little funny when mounted.

+1 for graphite. Like Katso said, it won't likely be the same shade of red.

I have an 09 S1 with the white KEO Sprints. Matches perfectly. I always thought red looked pretty cool for pedals, though.

i say graphite; too much red otherwise.

but i have to say: this forum is pretty amazing.
some people get positively torn apart for asking about opinion on color / decal design / bike colors / etc.
people get sanctimonious - DO LESS SHOPPING AND MORE RIDING, they say.
but when the issue is the color-coordination of the coveted CERVELO, well then, that's another matter. what a bunch of freds.

i think the graphite pedals will look better

The Keo Sprint is no longer being made, replaced by the Keo 2 Max. The classic has been upgraded somewhat this year and is very similar to the Sprint. The Classic is available in red and graphite, but not in white. Some stores may still have Sprints left over. I have seen the Keo 2 Max in graphite and in white.

I respond with a question: What color is your helmet?

I personally like the graphite pedals better, but if you have a red helmet maybe go with the red pedals to match (assuming the shading is right, of course)?
