Hey gang! It's a Blue RC4 frame built up with Shimano 105 except for the Shimano compact crankset and short-reach levers. I won the frame on Ebay and had it built by GVH Bikes. They did an amazing job and were awesome to deal with.
I just put the pedals on. Speedplay Light Action. Would you believe it's raining?!?! When it clears up, I'll be off on the inaugural ride!
Oh yeah, and the piano's not half bad either!

Yeah, the Blue brand is not in the ProTour, but it is a high-quality bike. I've heard it's comparable to much more expensive bikes but is cheaper just because it's not so well known. I just fell in love with the looks, and when I saw a used frameset on Ebay, I just had to have it! I'm sure it deserves to have Dura Ace on it, but I just had it built with what I can afford for now. As my skills improve and time goes by, I'm sure there will be some upgrading in its future.
Here's a slightly better picture with the pedals and bottle cages on now. Still raining!!! Grrrr...

Nice build!
The 105 should serve you nicely for a while.
Enjoy the ride.
And, I can never look at a Steinway (okay...a picture of one!) without thinking of the movie, The Pink Panther (...not sure which one). Inspector Clouseau trashed one, and a woman remarks in distress "But that's a priceless Steinway." "Not anymore," he deadpans.

Beautiful Bike and Lots of Luck with it!!!!
If you are ever riding down the Westside HWY on a week day at about a 1:00let me know. I take my lunch hour around Pier 40 and sit and watch the cyclists go by.
I think you will be safe if you get out early today. As usual the rain is suppose to roll in at the time I leave and and get home. I think the weekend is looking up so hopefully you can get in some nice rides then also.
