The black or red version looked much better.
That it is not your thing I can understand.
Some people dont have any feeling and taste for design. They are stuck in their grey world.
You say that these paintschemes are hideous, but how can you justify the choice for the others? Seldom I saw such a boring, unbalanced, simple, 13 in a dozen paintschems as these.
I don't understand that big brands like Specialized use such a boring paintschemes (these normal schemes)
The BOB is a bit outdated and the red one, I have hardly words for. An average chinese supplier can deliver these days your chinese carbon frame in a simpel(chinese) paintscheme. Paintscheme that radiates that it is made by an average person and definitely not a real designer.
Here the red Specialized paintschem looks very familiar to such a chinese. It lacks everything.
Red and white paintschemes are also very long used already makes half the world has a red and white bike.
Not Always you have a choice but when you can I would go for a more personal bike than to blend in the crowd with a 13 in a dozen paintscheme.
The Nibali paintscheme is a nice airbrush. Mix of style, elegance and with a funny twist. Pretty good in balance.
The Sagan paintscheme is totally different, its contemperary style.
With both you wil have a bike with pretty unique and stylish looks.
If you reject these paintschemes ok , but dont do like the others are so nice, they aren't.
