Haha.. it's a safe colour choice. Its appeal to me is that it doesnt stand out too much (which I like).

I really like the thought of red now though

Having looked at a pic of your bike, the colour that seems visually most suitable imho isn't even on your list of options Cav.
White would look right, I believe mate.
Black doesn't indicate that you've upgraded.
Green would look "too much green" on your bike.
Red,,, umm,,, :x

Anyway, white could look sufficiently bling whilst not detracting from the aesthetics ?

I did think about white but they're £180+ for a set vs £150 for any of the others.

I also was worried about the dirt building up as on of the hoses is by the front sprocket and there is always crude build up there

White hoses will make the bike look fat.

I was thinking about white too but the dirt will be phenomenal in my opinion!
