    L'Etape du Tour, various places up the final climb of Col de L'Izoard. Bit knackered!

    Great photo Ugo and the cafe there does cracking bacon and egg sandwiches!

    NICE!

    Is the photo recent? Strange to see snow so low this time of the year

    This was on Sunday (13/08/17). The previous week was cold and snow reached below 2000m. The last traces were melting away by the time I made it to the top of Männlichen.

    The Highlands in Squitland by any chance? I've spent a lot of time in Achiltibuie. Never get tired of the views up there.

    That's Arran in the background. It's taken from the top of Fairlie Moor between Dalry and Hunterston on the Firth of Clyde.

    Hey V-S-S,
    That's a Grade isn't it? Which year/variant? I'm still mollycoddling my '16 carbon ultegra - she's only allowed out on smooth tarmac when it's dry. Might feel different once the 'honeymoon period/novelty' wears off though :twisted:

    Regards,
    Rockhound.

    Yep, it's a 2016 AL Tiagra.
    Updates in the pic:
    - Wheels to DT R24 DB Spline
    - Tyres to Hutchinson Sector 32 (now 28)
    - Cranks to 105 Compact

    Other updates after the pic:
    - Easton EC70 AX Handlebar
    - Ritchey WCS Carbon Link Flexlogic Seatpost
    - AbsoluteBlack 52t Oval chainring

    I recommend that you go to some gravel roads right after the rain for some fun. I bet the carbon frame is sweet.
    My frame has fender rub and chipped paint. The local used car dealers call such things "patina of time".

    Here's another one from the Swiss mountains, this time on the other side of the Eiger just above the Aletsch glacier by the Maerjelensee. There is a 1km long almost completely dark tunnel you have to cycle through to get there.
