What a random assortment of photos, tiny, in the dark, and largely of your accessories?

Have you not got any decent pics of it?! I'm sure it's very nice!

Very nice bike! New to cycling altogether or just new to MTBing? seems a very expensive bike for a beginner!

Lovely alfa as well It looks like you're in italy/spain or something?
