OK...I'm really indecisive. I am having the pleasure of building up a new road bike and have decided on all the really crucial stuff (group, wheels, handlebars etc.), but can't come to a conclusion on the color...It is agonizing, so I thought I'd see what my trifuel friends might advise.

Here are the colors I'm stuck between. The pink I've seen in person and it is sweet. Definitely hot and fast. The green I have not seen in person and I'm a little concerned about it being a halloween slime color, but at the same time feel like if they got it right with the pink, the likelihood of them getting it wrong with the green is pretty slim. I can't even find that great of a photo on the web of the green....but the one below should help to give you an idea.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Gracias!

Pink Orbea Diva

Green Orbea Diva

Well, if you're going to get a bike named Diva, it should definitely be the pink one. Plus I like it better than the green one anyway.

Good luck!

when i was looking at road bikes I wanted to get a Diva just to get the pink paint job. It looks amazing.

Well I called yesterday and changed my order to Pink...as you all have said it just looks awesome! I kept coming back to it.

Some folks that I talked to in the shop said, get the green, because it'll be different. But different only goes so far. I just couldn't get past the fact that I could walk in to pick up the bike and absolutely hate the green. I already know that I love the pink and so do all of you...so pink it is.

And Toni, I quoted your comment several times since reading it...you are so right the name Diva just screams for pink.

Thanks!!! Maybe when I get the bike in 2 weeks I'll remember to post a pick of it....then again, I'll probably be out riding.

Happy training and racing!
