Sorry but multi colour bikes will always be slower as they are usually made up of fast and slow colours. The slow colours counter the fastness of the faster colours.

Sorry about that. :eh:

It is often good to look at the use of colour in the world to give us some clues as to the real truth

Whenever a belly laugh is needed the go to colour is yellow:

Google Teal and up pops lady itemsImage or a frigging Image

Red is more associated with good old practicality Image

Bloo is only good for one thing Image

Silver is used for real high tech products Image -

which leaves cool, pure, cutting edge black Image

Cavendish will tell you it's green... lloydie may agree... I wouldn't but embarrassingly Black features in the Giro d'italia as last in the race :(
Why ask... sometime you just go to do it and find out?
