I am looking at getting new LOOK Keo Sprint pedals for my new ride. It is a Cannondale CAAD8 frame, red in color, Force group, with white tape on the bars and white seat.

I am debating on a color choice for the sprint pedals. Red, White, or Grey. Would white be too "poser" looking? Would red be OK? Or just go with grey and blend in with the carbon cranks?

TIA,

Joel

Do you have a preferred color combination for your kit? What about your shoes? What color are they?

I have the sprints and like them. I don't need the extra spring tension of the carbon, or need to save the weight. I prefer the red as I was riding a red bike (but I found the gray on ebay for $15 less.)
If you care, the Sprint are the only version to come in red. Some will notice you didn't splurge the extra coin for the carbon version (which most riders I know have.)
Most people seem to feel the Ti to be excessively expensive for saving 15gms. FWIW

White will show scuffs, and pedals are prone to scuffing.

White would be my 1st choice, followed by red.

Alex is right about the pedal color for the Sprints - red. Unless you have seen some special issue ones that most of the rest of us have not seen.

Look does offer 3 different cleat configurations
red = 9 degrees float
gray = 6 degrees float
black = no float

I have keo sprints in gray and they look really cool. In your situation, however, I would choose red. Buy cleats to whatever your liking regarding float. Imo, no float is best.

White will look BAD ASS!! You won't regret it! Until they get dirty and look like crap :\. Find pictures of a used set of white sprints and see if you still like them =). As for me, I'm using the cheaper (grey) Keo Classic on two bikes.

You've got white bar tape and a white saddle, and you're worried that white pedals might be too "poser"? ;-)

I'd go with white. They'll soon get dirty, as others have noted. Getting used to the dirty white pedals will help you accept the condition of the bar tape, which will also be filthy-looking after every ride. It won't take long for the saddle, either.

Pedals are just about the most invisible components while you're riding. No one but you will have any idea what color they are.

the color of the pedals won't improve your performance. but it will make you feel good. i got a white bar tape and white SLR saddle on a blue and white bike frame. it was just logical for me to get the white Keo spint. now my bike's a looker.
