My existing wilier has developed a fault and I have been offered a new grantursimo as a replacement. Now the question begs, what colour. My initial thought was black but is this just a bit dull?
Poll Please

It was a close call between red and blue, but blue just edged it for me.

The chain on that bike is way too short. Look at the angle of the rear mech and the gear it is in.

Oh, and dark for me.

Voted blue as I'm bored of 95% of road bikes being either black or red, white & black.

That looks nice in all the colours! Blue reminds me of the Cube colours.

I would get Dark though, 100%

Another vote for dark, as it looks bloody lovely.

I've got a Wilier in white/red/dark, but would definitely have had he dark option had it been available when I got mine

All, thanks so much for your voting and comments. I've decided to go for the blue frame. Why you may ask, well, imo (and another post which I totally agree with) the other colour combinations look quite standard whilst I agree that the black looks really nice, there are loads of black frames out there. The red and white would have been a winner if the red was one shade across the bike but the headset and forks were different shades which just looked odd. So White, red and blue it will be. At least it is a bit different (cube comment onboard) and it will stand out perhaps a tiny bit.
Will post pics once built

Longest ride I've done is 85 miles on the bike and it was fine, it was more me being ill prepared for a long ride rather than any discomfort from the bike. Regular 50-60 mile rides are no problem comfort wise, no back pain at all.
