    Ooooooooh! Sexy! I love the paint scheme on your frame and the Brooks is yummy. I hope you're enjoying you new wheels.

    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!

    Just saw this thread... (Catching up, been gone a while.)

    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! 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.

    Luckily the 155mm Terry Butterfly seems to fit me fine. I wish I could fit my butt on a sleeker-looking saddle, but I was measured as having 140mm wide sit bones, and since I don't ride in a very aero position, I need the 155mm width. Unfortunately, all the saddles in that width are pretty poofy.

    Right now, It's wearing the Ultegra stuff from my first bike, but pretty soon it'll be built with the infinitely fabulous SRAM Red group...

    If the next shipment ever comes in

    I've got a Specialized Jett headed my way. Hopefully it doesn't cause sexual dysfunction.
