I'll play. I prefer greens and blues generally, as colors go. Turquoise
has always been a fascinating color for me, as is the seam foam of the
Atlantis. I've never been drawn to purple - depending on the shade for me
it ranges from indifferent to unpleasant. But, at the risk of splitting
hairs, I'm inclined to believe the Saluki is lilac which evokes the poetry
of Walt Whitman. So whereas the green bike is by definition faster, the
lilac one is poetic.

Whitman - don't ask me why).
