I'm pretty simple when it comes to bike designs....this is my dream bike. Love the simple green highlights. Oh so sweet! :)

I would be happy with this paint job on a Tarmac as well. Oh and for a finishing touch I'd want a "shut up legs" logo on the top tube. :D

I love it when a bike has a few different colors that combine to create a really unique an interesting design. I've always loved the design of Look. Nothing too complicated though, add too many colors and lines and it just looks messy.

I also like the simple and sleek look. Bikes that aren't flashy or made to look impressive but let their parts to the talking. ;) Like the design of this BMC Roadracer for example. Real simple but very sleek and cool looking IMO. You can't really see it in the pic but much of it is a pure carbon pattern as well, which looks awesome.

It rides pretty good as well. :D
 
Afrank,

How can it ride pretty good without pedals?

I don't care for pictures of bikes without pedals. There's way too many of them... It's a recent trend that must end.

I like the brushed titanium finish on my Lynsky.

My Cervelo is anodized black - not too keen on the color but in 5 years absolutely no damage to the finish.

Other than that I prefer plain yellow or white.

I agree with Avanti ... I like my brushed titanium Lynskey. :)

I am also a little partial to white bikes and quite like my Ritchey Breakaway.
