I've pretty much settled (for budget and spec reasons) on getting myself a Madone SL 7 Gen 8.
I'm in Australia. The silver one (pic 1) is an existing model but I'm not sure I like the orange. The white version (pic 2) has just been released but I'm not sure about having a white bike.
Ideally I wanted a black one – which Trek have just released in other markets but not Australia sadly.
Tell me: which do you like? Why? And are there any particular things I should be aware of with a white bike frame – like does it show marks/dirt etc worse than a darker frame?

IMO the white is WAY cleaner looking👍🏼 just easier on the eyes.
I much prefer the second (white) one. Looks racier, espec with those black carbon rims.. The silver is kind of bland. As for the color, my Audi allroad is white with black wheel arches and always looks good, haha. I only wash it twice a year, not sure if that’s a valid data point?
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with either.
But, I personally like the silver with the red/orange accent. The pop of color looks really nice in person
White because you could hardly see the Trek logo.
