As long a you get "Go Faster" Black you'll have no problem, both light black and dark black are considerably slower!

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd have gone for red?

[Mon Dieu4]

are you out of your mind? Scouse agrees black is the fastest!!

when have you ever seen a red bike beat a black one?

Might depend on the conditions. I've heard that red bikes are faster in a prevailing north-westerly wind.

now you have added a new dimension to the argument, i might need to get professional weather advice, black with red spots is winning just now

Now you're just being silly by suggesting that wind could alter the speed of a slow red bike.

Maybe Hibsbollah can help re: weather, he seems knowledgeable going by the matchday threads

[Mon Dieu4]

see Scouse seems to know his bikes but HibeeN has thrown a total curve ball, does get quite windy about here

A headwind can significantly affect the speed, you're quite right. A bitter nor'westerly can slow up a silver bike, which in my opinion is by far the fastest colour.

How do yous lot feel about 'backies'? :dunno:

Silver is an ok selection but the tires don't really make a motorbike sound when you put a ice lolly stick against it, hmm decisions

Now...... If your nephew had a PINK bike and his mates came cycling up behind him you'll soon see that PINK is obviously the fastest there is! (even in the wind!) .......

My daughter has a pink bike and it's slow as anything. :confused: Even taking the stabilisers off didn't help

Playing cards on the spokes were better than lolly sticks.

Why was it a 'takey':confused:


Was it because Being a Scouser did you take the bike without asking? :greengrin

Bradley Wiggins had a yellow bike when he won the tour according to google images. just thought idthrow that out there...

[Hibee87]

The fastest bike is blue, has blue tyres and must say BMX with a velcro bit in the middle of the frame and handlebars! Add in a box of kellogs corn flakes bike cards and your whizzing away :wink:

p.s on a side not I walked past cash converters the other day and caught my eye was a couple of illuminours bikes, althought the were proper speed bikes and not for you nephew they lime green one did look quality
