Early morning ride in #slovenia on our Gravel lugged bike photo and build by @miles_bartholomew_gibb

Early morning in Slovenia. Cloud inversion fills the valley below while the gravel lugged bike rests against a wooden fence. Photos like this make the work worthwhile.

The view stretches across the Julian Alps. Autumn colours paint the forested slopes in orange and gold. The clouds lie flat in the valley like a white river, obscuring everything below while peaks emerge in sharp morning light.

That striped bar tape adds personality to an already striking frame. Hunt wheels handle the alpine terrain. 'BAMBOO BICYCLE CLUB' text on the down tube connects this remote summit to the London workshop where building skills were learned.

Slovenia offers cycling that rewards effort. Mountain passes, quiet roads, views that stop you mid-pedal to photograph. Miles Bartholomew Gibb captured this moment perfectly — bike, mountains, clouds, silence.

Some photos document. Others transport. This one takes you to that fence, that morning, that particular intersection of climb and light.

Early starts earn views like this. The bike earned its place in the frame. 🏔️
