White bikes are...nah. So I´ll go with the other one. But I suppose this really should be your call...?

I'm not crazy about the black, so I'm going to vote white.

Neither is ringing my bell. I think the black looks better (but I'd get a black seat and tape). The white is too Stormtrooper-ish. However, the white has potential with black tape, seat, brakes and wheels.

Of the two I'd go for the black one, but these days black/red/white is just so "everybody's got one". Kinda like the black/blue/white team kit trend (Leopard/Sky/???)

ps - the white one needs a white post and hoods.

I am a black/red guy. However, to be truthfully honest, sometimes I get envious when I see black/blue. White paint jobs remind me of utility, more like work truck than black and red, which reminds me of speed.

I think I would go with white because it gives you more options with saddle, bar wrap, cable, and bottle cage accents.
Am I the only one bored with all the new bikes being mostly black or maybe white with red accents?

Well white will just be hard to keep clean. On the other hand, while I like black usually, this one somehow isn't very attractive. So just for looks white.

But a clean bicycle looks better, lasts longer and goes faster than a dirty bike, yes? What could be cooler than a bike that reminds you to clean it more often?
