My Bottecchia 8avio frame has spent the past three and a half years in the attic, but I decided to build her up again this summer to give me an alternative to the Genesis. Here she is. Be gentle 8)

    I rely on my granite-like thighs to power me through the mountains of Surrey :wink:

    It's a 12-25 with compact 34-50 so copes with most stuff I encounter. I'm already eyeing up a 12-30 for next year's plans though...
