Superb video Mike, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since we were there.

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

Thanks Jonnie - yes time flies doesn't it?!!

Great video Mike. I fondly remember that climb and often tell people about it as it is one of the videos I use during my spin classes. I also remember the epic descent off the top on the french side. Keep up the good work Mike and boy do I miss those rides with you in the Alps 😢

Thanks Richard - yes its an epic climb! I can;t believe that was 10 years ago??

Great vid and stunning ride, envious. How would you rate the LightCarbon frameset a few years on? I’m very close to buying one but concerns over frameset quality, mainly safety to be honest. I haven’t found anything bad about them so that must be a good thing.

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

Thanks for watching. I'm still using it - I did have the same concerns however they are now at Eurobike and they were whitelabeling for Nove bikes that I vaguely remember an ex-pro riding for a while. I've raced on it - etape last year - and very happy with the quality.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply! Hard to find a RIM brake frameset these days so think I’ll grab one.

@@anemlachhomebrewing3690 are you in the UK? What size are you?

[@anemlachhomebrewing3690]

@@CyclingInTheAlps I’m in Australia, ordered the 580 size last night 😃

Taking my new LCR bike for a first spin tomorrow, looking forward to it 😃 Customer service has been great, delivery was well packaged and tolerance on the headset bearings seemed pretty good to my inexperienced eye. I’ll be asking the LBS how they found the build when I collect the bike from them. I’ll let you know my first impressions… Ride on
