Which color supersix in the D1 would you get.
a) The white lettering with red.
b) The silver lettering with white.
I think the red lettering was used by Barloworld before they switched, don't quote me on that but I think I did see some pic's a couple of months ago. It's come down to the color of the decals now and one day I like (a) and the next day it's (b).

How about picking the one you like best? You're the one paying for it, you pick the color.

Doesn't matter, I just test rode it and didn't think it was anything special especially when owning a system-6. In my opinion the system is definitely the bike unless you are a weight weenie. Both colors are the same meaning I like them both equally and both don't look all that good. The super is still a great bike I guess I have been riding the system for too long and can't compare it to anything else.

Comparing SystemSix to SuperSix is like apples and oranges. The SystemSix is much stiffer/harsher and tend to be favored by heavier riders. The Super Six is more compliant while retaining a high degree of lateral rigidity, and favored by lighter riders.
As far as colors the white/red is a little louder. It looks sweet with the Mavic Ksyrium ES wheels. The white/silver looks very clean, and sophisticated. I ended up with the white/red because that is what was available. I did the same as you debating back and forth. You won't be disappointed with either.
