I am jaded with the proliferation of red, white black on bikes.

What are your favourite graphic designs and colours?

My bike is black with a shimmery pearl white and red highlights :)

Though I really like Bianchi celeste :)

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.

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.

Being a Cannondale man I've always loved the early Liquigas Super Sixes:

Along with the design of the Saeco CAAD's. The Six13's were a step back IMO

My road bike is in the classic Reynolds colours:

Can't get enough of it, looks awesome.


I also have a Reynolds jersey that matches it brilliantly:

Sorry if that's rubbish quality...

Yes, I look awesome :cool:

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.
