I had been considering picking up a C60 since the launch last spring but none of the currently available paint schemes grabbed me enough to take the plunge. I did, however, really like the look of the frame which Thomas Voeckler used on the TDF last year, having managed to see it in the flesh whilst stood on the side of the road on the Buttertubs climb.

I spoke to the UK distributor after the Tour and they were as keen as I was to find out if the factory would release this colour scheme. Long story short, the UK received the remaining 2014 Team Europcar C60 frames (paint code: VS) in October and I managed to pick up one of the two which arrived in my size (from a total 11 in all sizes I believe). Windwave and Sigma Sport were brilliant throughout the process.

I picked the frame up in mid October and have just about finished the build - roll on the spring now!!

Very nice build. the tricolore on the seattube is cool and adds to the look. only thing i would change is have black bartape, but it's still a stunner.

+1 for the Tricolore, can't wait for my V1-R to turn up even more now. I know it doesn't carry the same prestige as the C60 though =)

I'd try a black tape as well, otherwise stunning!
Take some pictures with daylight! :beerchug:

That frame looks so good it even makes the chainset look good.
