Bianchi C2C Infinito Team Vacansoleil-DCM

Bianchi C2C Infinito (2012) Team Vacansoleil-DCM

Today I have spent the most of my time to build a new item to my Collection. The frame is previously used by Steijn Devolder when he was part of Team Vacansoleil-DCM.
I bought the frame directly from the Team in the turn of the year 13/14 when the Team seased to excist. Among that I also bought the stem, handlebar, Wheels, saddle, seatpost, bottlecages etc,

Very nice bike, I will probably take the first ride tomorrow.

Team Vacansoleil 2012-2013

Here are my collection with Team Vacansoleil-DCM clothes, this is Team I have been neglecting a bit, I don´t know why, but maybe it´s because there is no problems to find stuff from this Team so far, the only thing I regret is that I didn´t bought the Jersey they used at Il Lombardia in 2012. Now is this Team dissolved and passed on to the History books. But they did some really nice results during it´s existence. 

 

Race Jersy with full zipp, this is an official race jersey which the riders used, this one belonged to Gustav Larsson, member of the Team in 2012.

New items to my collection

Yesterday I got some new stuff too my Collection, I was really happy when I opened the mail and saw the new packages.

 

If you click on the image you see it bigger, what I got was gloves from Team Vacansoleil, not the ones we fans can buy, but real gloves from a pro. A foodbag (musette) from Mercatone Uno and postcards from Team Alessio Bianchi, Team Mercatone Uno and two signed cards from Team Barloworld - Baden Cooke and Gianpaolo Cheula.

Real nice and fun to get it.

Have a nice day!

Musettes / Food bags

Most collectors of Bike memorabilia also looking for the Musettes / food bags (In Swedish "Slungor") which during races contains food and something to drink for the riders, in those you have their lunch or just new energy. In a race when they give those to the riders, the first kilometres after they have been given to the riders is the best place to get them. You can´t find them in other places and if you as me can´t go to Italy or France every year, you have to depend on other collectors or Ebay.

I am always on the hunt for more Musettes, so if you have one or two send me an email. =) I hve already displayed the Musettes from Team Androni Giocattoli so you have to look in an older post to see them,

 

Team Barloworld - 2009

Team Colombia Coldeportes - 2012

 

Team Gewiss Bianchi - 1987-1989

Team Gewiss Bianchi 1987 - 1989

Team Liquigas - Bianchi  - 2005

Team Liquigas - 2006

Team Mercatone Uno - 1998

Team Vacansoleil - DCM 2012 - 2013

That´s all at the moment I hope that I can show you one more of my bikes later today.

Best
Fritz

Postcards Vacansoleil 2012

Every Team makes postcards of the riders, it´s pretty difficult to find photos of the older Teams. But I have managed to find some, and I will show them here as well.

First out is Team Vacansoleil 2012 edition

Click on the image and you will see the them bigger. The last part of the photos was signed by the riders at the Giro d´Italia in 2012 (Denmark)
