    Thanks ladies! Yes it's rideblue.com

    They aren't very common, but they are gorgeous. The frame is carbon tubes with aluminum lugs. (Not monocoque).

    I just told my husband that I'm going to have to look like I know what the heck I'm doing on this bike. I'm really going to work on my bike handling skills until I get it!

    It is being sent straight from the ebay seller to the person who is building it for me. They are going to do their best to get me the bike before I go on vacation on the 23rd. I want to take it with me!

    That's a GORGEOUS frame! Congratulations and enjoy her. If she were mine, I'd go with electric blue bar tape for a real pop!

    Yeah! Or, white tape, white saddle!

    Well, I know I'm boring, but it's getting black tape and a black saddle. I can always change it if it looks too blah!

    Ok, I had to come over here after reading your post in the OT forum. What a sweet, sweet ride! I actually saw a lot of Blues when the racers were in town last month. I had never heard of them before, either, but boy was I lusting after the bikes!

    Congrats, rij; I'm sure you'll get it to fit like a glove and feel great.
