The red one. I hate black on black bikes!

From Wikipedia:
In physics, redshift happens when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum.
In other words, as you go faster, you and your bike will appear increasingly red to those behind you. A red bike doesn't have to turn red, because it is already red, compared to any other bike color which has to turn red. So on a red bike, more of your watts are translated into forward motion than changing colors.

Why would the red one be stiffer and more areo than the black one?
Should have used the sarcasm font!

I would take the one i want and care less what others prefer.
So if you want red, take the red. If you want the black, take the black.

I'm getting tired of the all-black carbon look. It was cool when carbon first came out to show off the technology of the material but now that almost all high end bikes are carbon I think we can go back to cool paint jobs.
But, for me personally the red, black, and white doesn't work so I'd get the black one. The Tarmac Nibali looks pretty cool just because I like the paint job not because I have any special love for Nibali.
