I was hoping someone would post a White R3 built up from interbike. So far I have not see one so I got tired and found a picture from the Euro show to share with everyone. Looks sweet! I threw the Current R3 in there for a side by side comparison to vote on.

Does anyone have picts of a white R3 built up? thanks :thumbsup:

Mostly built up minus the chain and FD. Needs a white fork though.

I think lots o' peeps have already seen the white frame, but here's a pic for you.

White bar tape gets dirty too quick. Did I mention this isn't my bike? lol I got the pic from some euro site.

sorry about that. But I agree that white bar tape gets dirty real quick. I have a white saddle and white bar tape...

THe white saddle gets dirtier even quicker!

Seems to me most riders that choose an R3 are looking to build up a light bike, and will be putting on light carbon parts- Carbon Cranks, fork, handle bars, and seat post all which are black. The current trend on most other componants stems, groupos, pedals, seat post and clamp, even the front derailleur hinger is black. With black all those items blend togeather. With a white frame every black part stands out, that doesn't do it for me... But everyone has their own preferances... Not to mention a white saddle and white tape look great for about 1 week. I'm glad my R3 is black, but I would enjoy riding it no matter what it looks like...

Look closer-there's no bar tape (or chain) on this bike. . .
