I like all of them, and am undecided. At first I liked the white & green one. Then I saw the chrome and get even more confused.

Does anyone have any of the colors? I know sometimes the pics on the web do it no justice ( the chameleon color from last year)

I vote for top or bottom. The one in the middle reminds me of a ten year old Trek. I bet the top one is the heaviest.

<OT> Do you have a good mail-order source for these? I am looking but not finding much..

Green one. I would never buy a rider personal model, no matter who the rider. And the middle one looks dated.

The chrome one is stunning!!

The blue and white one doesn't say to me this is a top end frame and how are you supposed to colour co-ordinate with the green one?

I kind of like the middle one.. it's a departure from the 'usual' paint schemes and reminds me of race car paint jobs.. it also reminds me of the cervelo-bigla paintjob..a lot
But I could be wrong

Go for the Chrome Contador Tarmac. The Triple Grand Tour Stripes Yellow/Pink/Red are a great touch. Not even Froome or Quintana can have this paint job yet :)

Imo the other paint jobs are extremely boring. A S-Works always looks good in black so rather go for a simple subtle/classy black frame if you don't want a bike that shouts.

I dig the middle one as well; I'd get one myself if I wasn't afraid of having rim brakes..

I kind of like the middle one too, though of those three, I'd probably go for the green one.

The chrome one looks kind of cheap to me.

But I agree with AZK, that the basic black is quite nice.

Is it possible to go to a store and try to see one in person? The frame sets are indeed less common than full builds in the shop but I almost always see one on the mechanics work stand being built.

It has to be the chrome finish one!
Everyone loves a bit of bling!! You'll need to setup an account with Purple Harry though for some decent cleaning products ;)

My local store has the green one. it's purty, if a little loud.
