Black bike with stickers

I'm fantasizing about getting a road bike, having gotten a taste of cycling on my first, and still current bike.  Realistically, for a first road bike purchase, I should be looking at bikes that would deliver the best value, if I choose to go with a new bike instead of a used one.

It seems like the best price/performance road bikes are black.  I'm not fond of that color on bikes, but I'll go with performance and value over looks.  One way to spice up a black bike is to put stickers on it.  I thought this was beautifully done.
