A friend of mine told me that white bikes are faster than black ones.
I told her the paintjob had nothing to do with bike performance.

I was told that Red ones were faster!! You mean I was wrong in getting red?

i got white and red, its fair to say, I'll be a pro in no time

>.> I want a white bike for night riding.... and red is the fastest color obviously.

I thought white paint tended to be a bit heavier.

the lack of dye is the root of why white is clearly lighter...now if you had a brain you would have bought a bike that was carbon with no paint, just a matte clear(the lightest) no shiny stuff to weigh it down...duh

I think they're called ghost bikes here.

Its not the motion of the ocean, its how big your boat is.
Just saying.

Black bikes are faster than white. I mean, it's obvious. I though everyone knew this.

The black paint absorbs heat better. This causes the air inside the frame tubes to expand, pushing air molecules out of the tubes. Less air in tubes = lighter bike = faster. QED.

What crack-pot logic. Everyone knows that expanded frame tubes increased aerodynamic drag, reducing speed.

omg i got a white bike i always knew i was the fastest

Everyone knows the black ones are the fastest.

For my next trick, I will prove that a pound of titanium weighs less than a pound of steel.

Expanded frames create a leading-edge phenomena on the front fork which allows the bike to go faster. Everyone knows this.

white rims red hubs i win.

lb of carbon fiberz < all other

My bike is white with red polka dots, it goes up hills so fast that it hard for me to hold onto sometimes.

Have no idea about paint but white bar tape is the fastest. When was the last time you saw anything but white win something?

Then why the hell am i so slow?! Lies!

The 100m and 200m sprint in the olympics.

I'm twice as fast, I have two white bikes. And I can prove red isn't faster - my wife has two red bikes, and I'm faster on the white.
