White will turn black shortly. Go with #1 and be stealthy.

I like the all black best, but the white looks good, too.

Lime looks hot.

Green has always seemed fast to me. Maybe its subconsciously associated with GO!

White and possibly bottle cages or pedals might look good also.

definitely white

but, i have to ask - is that a real colnago? it looks suspiciously like ebay carbon, and i think all the current colnagos have straight seat stays. if it's real, my apologies. if you colnago-branded an ebay carbon frame, that's awesome.

hah, cool. i would do the same thing without hesitation.
let me share this with you: there's a girl who rides around here who has a similar frame. She got a decal that says "I DON'T KNOW" in italics and put it on the down tube.
so when people ask her what type of bike it is, she just points to the down tube. lol.

I'd take the cheesy Colnago decals off and black it out.

The red cable housings look hideous. White looks the best, it provides some contrast and looks good. I would also think about getting white hoods as well.
