Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I'd still go for black though, with a polish to make it faster

Black is fastest!

Technically black has to be excluded as is is the absence of colour.

.... and a huge swathe of silver ..... hardly any black at all compared with the Oasis Green, Flamingo Red and Olympic Bronze bikes.

Andy I stand corrected and am reminded of GCSE Physics practicals. I suppose the question was posed that way deliberately to exclude the obvious choice on a technicality... That's so not fair.
And I think Dave, things would be closer than you are making out. A little cosmetic rust or mold for that matter, won't make too much difference.
