Favorite bike 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

red, white, or black, doesn't matter that much, as long as it's solid.

Botto hit it on the nose...unfortunately few companies are doing that anymore ...except Canyon...that will be my next bike! My CAAD9 would look dead sexy had they just made it red with white lettering! The only color Botto forgot to mention is that raw material (whether it is steel, ti, aluminum, CF, etc.).
