    Hi,
    Has the colour of a bike swayed you one way or another, is there a predominant colour scheme? plus is there a colour or colours to avoid that doesn’t wear well, shows scratches more or oxidizes more in the sun? ( i avoid red cars as i think it fades quicker than any other colour)

    Im deliberating on the defy advance 1 and 2, kinda like the red/ white look…. but more expensive!

    I probably won’t make one jot of difference to your performance but stealthy matt black goes with any kit you decide to wear regardless of colour . Suits you sir ! !

    Colour does matter but wouldn’t be a dealbreaker unless like the Specialized Allez it’s “monster green”!

    Red bikes are the fastest, obviously đŸ˜‰

    White bikes are a pain to keep clean. On one of my bikes the downtube has a white underside – ridiculous!

    There’s some bikes I would exclude simply because they’re ugly (ahem older pinarello’s….) and I think that some bikes can look much nicer in certain colours than others.
    At the end of the day I ride my bike when i feel like it, I’m not forced out the door to have to ride so if my bike looks nicer (imo) then I’m more likely to ride it and have a good time.
    Long story short, yes, colour does matter but it is not the most important factor…as long as it looks nice enough.

    To be fair the 1 has better
    To be fair the 1 has better spec, ultegra compared to 105, not that it would make that much difference so im told, was just a lighthearted question, like is there a particular colour that would put you right off a bike, or indeed the aesthetics of one draw you in?!

    if the only difference is the colour then youd be pretty vain to pay more.

    Im not fussed at all about how the bike looks, so long as it works perfectly and fits my form. Im a cyclist not a poser, although there are a lot of others who are fashion victims and have matching everything and change their bike / kit to the latest trend.
