Trek has unveiled a special collection of Madone 6.9 SSLs which will be used by the RadioShack and Leopard Trek teams during the upcoming Tour de France.

Andy and Fränk Schleck, Fabian Cancellara and the entire RadioShack team will ride bikes with colours "inspired by the riders themselves". That means Spartacus-inspired graphics for Cancellara - also applied to his Speed Concept 9.9 time trial bike - a Luxembourg theme for the Schlecks and a clean white, red and black look for the American squad.

Each colour scheme will be available to buy through Trek's Project One custom bike programme from 1 July. Check out the gallery for a closer look at the designs.
