I like the color scheme AND the bike. Yellow has always been a good color for bicycles... it's classic. The new black/yellow is a new take on classic colors. It looks great.

Should have gone black and gold. Thrown a screaming bird on her. Named her Bandit.

Cool bike and the color scheme does stand out. That Stryper kit might look, um, "interesting" on it.
I ordered a P1 Domane 6-series in the blue/black "Select" finish last December. From order to delivery,the time was a little over a month.

+1. I was once cornered on that question, along with how many miles/year I put on it. When the math came out to more than $1/mile in the first year, he laughed.

Nice bike! I've always been a classic black/white guy, but if you're going to do color, I like bright colors. Blue, red, etc. just don't do anything for me. I had a black Colnago with fluorescent green highlights that was the coolest bike ever! Sadly, it just never fit me right. Too bad, I really loved the looks.
