My retired FCR 1 was/is white and my Vita is white. I much prefer white to the black/pink of my Ruby...which is the only thing I do not like about my Ruby. I keep my bikes waxed and if they get dirty I am usually able to wipe them clean with a damp cloth. I have used Pledge and car wax with success. I love the look of white bikes with colored bar tape. That maybe the excuse I use to upgrade roadie in a few years
