Team Europcar Colnago C60
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
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!!
Frame: Colnago C60 52s (paint code VS)
Groupset: 2015 Campagnolo Super Record mechanical (172.5mm 50/34 cranks; 12/27 cassette)
Wheels: Lightweight Standard Gen3
Bars: Deda Presa 42cm
Stem: Deda Zero 100 120mm
Saddle: Fizik Antares R3
Pedals: Look Keo Blade 2
Bottle cages: Arundel Mandible
Weight: 14.6lbs / 6.6kg
Apologies for the rubbish photos - I will update the post with some outdoor shots and a ride report once I can
Cheers

Holey Sh*t! this is the third bike in the gallery that catches my eye. it is also the third bike to have LW's.
If you want to see 'meh' content of me and my bike you can follow my life in pictures here!'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'
This is just briliant, just briliant, i would not change a damn thing on this beauty! Perfect choice of parts.
Wow
Just great!
Except this huge conical spacer under the stem.

I'd try a black tape as well, otherwise stunning!
Take some pictures with daylight!
Stunning bike indeed! I am for black tape too
