3T Cycling (Italy) - Press Release: At Team CSC, Fränk Schleck rode a Cervelo for 6 years. As a fan of the man behind those designs, he recently got a 3T Exploro and Strada. Now it's time for a custom.

Road racing fans will remember Fränk winning at Alpe d’Huez on his Cervelo SLC-SL in 2006 or the Amstel Gold Race on his Cervelo Soloist. If not, then surely wearing the yellow jersey aboard his Cervelo R3-SL in 2008.

During his six years at Team CSC, he always rode Cervelo bikes designed by our Head of Design Gerard Vroomen , Phil White and the engineering team at Cervelo.

Even after, Fränk kept following Gerard’s work. When it was time for a gravel bike, Fränk knew Gerard had moved to 3T and called us up about an Exploro. As one thing lead to another, one Exploro lead to a Strada.

Fränk didn’t sit still after his professional career either. He created ‘Schleck X-perience‘, offering iconic group rides on the courses of Liège-Bastogne -Liège and the Amstel Gold Race (which he won in 2006) under his guidance. These are all postponed this year obviously, but will be held again soon!

Custom Strada:

When Fränck showed me his logo and color choices for Schleck X-perience I really liked them. So I suggested that would look nice on a custom Strada. We’ve done a few before and people really seem to like them. So we worked with our designer to make a totally unique Strada for Fränck, as an expression of our friendship.

The Strada Fränck Schleck Special Edition, equipped with the 3T Discus 45 | 32 Ltd wide carbon road wheels, our made-in-Italy Torno crank & Sram Red eTap. If you wants to ride this unqiue Strada like Fränck, the bike is available to purchase for US$ / € 8.499.
