I got my Brooks b17 champion special today. Much to the dismay of my fellow road racers...

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! :D
Andrea, looks fabulous with your black bike!!
Expect some sitbone soreness for the first few rides- it's normal.
But if you have pain in your front girly parts, try tipping the nose of your saddle down a bit more- especially since you have handlebars lower than your saddle (which will puts more pressure on your front parts when in the saddle).
I just love the Brooks saddles with the copper rivets. :p
Your fellow road racers are probably just jealous! ;)
Cool trick with the focus. Looks like you are holding your bike by the back wheel and spinning around with it.

Thanks guys!
Oh yeah, and that one from the back isn't actually a focusing trick, it's just photoshop! I had to figure out a way to obscure the hand that was holding the bike up by the handlebar.
hey, it's your butt! and it's a beautiful combination!
sweet!
Ooooooooh! Sexy! I love the paint scheme on your frame and the Brooks is yummy. I hope you're enjoying you new wheels. :cool:
I absolutely LOVE the new frame. Blue is not very widespread, but it should be... it's stiff, smooth and it sprints and climbs like BUTTER!Quote:

I have a Blue RC4 that's a dream. (Link below). What model is yours? Aren't they great?
It's an Rc7, and I love it like a fat kid loves cake!
The Brooks, however, had to go... too much pressure up front for me when in an aero racing position :( I'm keeping it on the spare stuff shelf for when I get a touring/commuter bike that's more upright.
Bwahahahaha! :D I love mine too. Did you buy it new with the Dura-Ace package straight from Blue, did you have it built up custom or what? I got my frame lightly used on Ebay (looked brand new) and had it built with mostly Shimano 105 components since I'm new to road biking.Quote:
