Thanks, I would love to see it go to a good home. I was considering listing on ebay... my boyfriend just sold his on ebay and the buyer promptly turned around and stripped the bike down to all its parts and sold it scrap by scrap. It was sad to see his first road bike in pieces like that.
If it gives you any peace of mind, Nicole, I bought my RC4 frame on Ebay and no bike has ever been treated with more adoration. The previous owner and I emailed quite a bit, and when I had the frame built up, I sent him a picture. He was so happy it went to a good home. DH also sold his bike on Ebay to a guy who just adores it and sent us a nice update about how much fun he's having with it. So... just to say... not all Ebayers are bike butchers. :p
That is good to know! I will wait it out and see if I get any more interest here. I realize that not having a history on this forum might make it difficult for some buyers to take the chance and buy the bike. I thought I would post it up here and see if anyone fell in love with it. Thanks for all of your positive feedback about the bike though.
I think it's likely to be tough to sell here only because there are very few places to go test ride a Blue. So, it's hard to know whether it will fit just right. Also, as pretty as it looks in pictures, it's nothing compared to seeing it in person. I was blown away when my bike actually arrived. It's not just beautiful, but such a solid, well-built bike.Quote:

I've never ridden a Blue, but I fell in love with them when I saw them at a pro race here last summer. I thought about getting a carbon bike this year, and was originally going to buy a Look frame and put my existing components on it. Instead I'm getting a frame that's almost as good and components that are way better. Not to mention an unparalleled paint scheme.
Now I just hope it fits!

Pyxi...you got a GREAT bike! Hope it fits for you!
Thanks, I'm looking forward to joining the Blue club :)
Kate, it looks like the bike is on its way to you and will arrive in a few days!
This is great! Two Blue RC4's on the forum. I really hope it fits you great. Keep us posted.
So, did it come? Have you ridden it? Inquiring minds want to know!Quote:

haha that is a great looking bike. where are you getting it put together and with which parts?
Awesome! Yes, tell us what you are having done to it. It sounded like it had great components as it was.
It's awesome with the components it came with. I took it to my team's sponsor shop, NOW bikes in St. Paul, and they put it together and put on my Aliante saddle and Time pedals, from my old bike.
I just have to say, I LOVE carbon! I wondered whether I'd really be able to tell the difference between aluminum and carbon. Uh, yeah.
I also love the Ultegra components. It's such a great ride. Makes me love cycling even more than I already did. I took it out for the first time last night, and I stayed out so long I barely got back before nightfall. I'm looking forward to tomorrow so I can show it off on a group ride :)
It's soooo much nicer than my aluminum frame/carbon fork/105 components Cannondale.
And the hills! I just fly up them now!
I fell in love with the way it looks, but I'm going to stay in love with the way it rides
