I have a decision making disorder... Help me pick a color

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The FSA Plasma is a super nice bar/stem and will probably be the way I go if I go red... Although, it looks like Black is running away with the poll...

I would go with the all black or the almost all black with white lettering.

I like the white out of the 3 you posted but the all stealth black is killer

Two points.
1) You best know how to change a tire on that thing before you go out.
2) You better be reasonably fast. If your average is 15 or lower find something else.
Oh, and don't bring it to Afgan town.

1. I do
2. I am and it is
3. I think the Afghans would think this bike was something from another planet... Most of the bikes they ride weigh 35-50#s and rattle like crazy, but everyone has one...

I think I like the black/blue above, kind of icy cool and not seen too often like bl/white, bl/red.

I think the Blue/black is the team Sky replica.
