Looking to buy a Dolan Preffisio road bike frame to build up a cheap ish winter bike. Can’t decide on the colour though…Red or blue?!

Red or Blue Linky…

Suggestions welcome!

Blue (although red is always going to be faster)

Red = faster!

the blue looks nice

I see the problem. The blue has a sophistication about it, while the red has fiery attraction.

So… sophisticated or passionate?

Ask your significant other.

I have a red bike. It looks loooovely.

Blue!

The Blue looks a bit Golf substitute ‘IT crowd’.
The Red looks better,but still a bit ‘my first Sportive/KOM* hunter’

🙂 😛

Red looks great.

The blue looks like the colour scheme from an Aldi/Lidl cycling jersey.

You really don’t need to prefix your thread with “First world problem”

99.999% (low estimate) of threads in Bike forum are First World problems…

Even tougher in the fully built shots…

Red. …

Blue. ..

As for asking the wife…no chance. Im going for the it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission route on this one…

Lidl sponsors Etixx-Quick Step who Marcel Kittel’s just signed for…

+1 for blue

i always want to do that, but then i realise its my money and my wife wouldnt care. its much harder to convince myself i ‘need’ to have a new 29r Rigid …..like in that thread earlier in the week…….

Even tougher[b]easier[/b] in the fully built shots…

The blue is just so dull.

Red.

Defo blue.

Ive just been looking at those and having the same thoughts..
Think I may go for red.

Blimey 90 quid for the frame. At that price get a blue and a red one! Ride the one that matches your mood 🙂

Which colour will it be easier to get matching lycra for? Choose that one.

Seriously, though, I am now sold on the blue.

90 quid?! Where is that? 200 on ‘ t website. I’m edging towards blue now but was red yesterday….

Built up I think the blue edges it but maybe just because the red one looks more orange in that photo. I reckon blue but with white bar tape and saddle.

red, see lots in blue round here

Red.

Red.

the blue looks like it came straight out of 2008.

Is there such a thing as a zeroth world problem?

They both look like an explosion in a Chinese tat factory.

In 2003.

Which one matches your kit?

Either would match mine, so red. Always red. Red bikes are faster. Not as fast as white bikes#, but fast nevertheless.

# New white propel is faster than old black and red one. I put this down to not enough redness.
