@PhilDAS Great communication and everything as agreed. Thanks!

That lake is Piva river hydroaccumulation lake and can you start the climb to Mt. Durmitor (West side) just before the bridge (going towards Pluzine). Tara river comes from the other side of the mountain but joins (absorbs) Piva a bit up the road at the border crossing with Bosnia & Herzegovina, which is why you probably mixed the two up :).
If you like this sort of scenery, then I suggest you look into Bosnia & Herzegovina's premier ultra-distance race that I will be organising in June of 2019 (shameless plug :-D).

A friend is selling this amazing bike in very good condition - the only reason I haven't bought it myself is that it's not a Colorado but a Tri-Colorado, which means it's 650C, complete with tri-bar setup.
It's 55 cm c-c TT, full Shimano 600 6400 STI 2x8 and Spinergy Rev-X clincher wheels. Everything's in good condition save for one flat inner tube (and the tyres could do with changing too).
He's after a quite reasonable sum of £600 plus shipping. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get some pics up.
A sample photo from the internet to show the frame design and colour:
Cheers.

Everything's ready for the 2022 (4th) edition of B-HARD Ultra Race & Brevet!
The event will be taking place from 10th to 15th of June 2022, with start and finish in Banja Luka.
The main goal of the project is to promote unsupported and fully supported multi-day cycling tours as an official tourism offering of Banja Luka, the host city, with the pinnacle being an annual and very challenging self-supported ultracycling race – B-HARD.
The inaugural 2019 edition had seen the riders brave a demanding 1040 kilometer route with 12750 m of elevation gain within 75 hours time limit. The event was also an official ACP BRM1000 randonneur / audax / brevet, which had run under different rules and with entirely separate classification. The time limit for getting a homologated BRM ride was also 75 hours, as per ACP rules. Apart from these two categories, we also held a 250 km single-day brevet and the first ever gathering of female cyclists in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Since 2020 edition of the race, the route is elongated to 1200 km with 90 h time limit and three brand new checkpoints. This, along with an even more elaborate organisation of the event, will make for another unforgettable cycling experience.
The route has been carefully crafted to present B&H “in a nutshell” and is passing through National Parks, along rivers, lakes and waterfalls, over ski-centers and UNESCO World Heritage sites and generally stunning (and hilly!) terrain.
Why is B-HARD a unique event in the world of ultracycling?
In the wave of new ultra races popping up around the globe, this event is different in a way that it has been specifically designed to boost positive image and promote tourism of a very underestimated yet beautiful country, rather than be “yet another ultra race”.
The event offers a self-supported cycling ultramarathon race, official LRM1200, BRM600 and BRM200 audax/brevet, promotional ride for women and an option of a fully supported touring version too – so something there is something for everyone, although the main focus is on the prestigious race.
The route has not just been plotted out to be “extreme” or “epic” for its own sake (though it definitely comes across as both) – but the man behind it all has participated as a rider himself, as a sort of quality assurance.
And the last but not the least, the event is organised by a non-profit organisation, so everything we manage to score in terms of sponsorship and other kinds of support will be passed on to the riders!

I'm building a Winter bike (again), so I'm after a 11s groupset, either 5800 or (preferably) 6800.
I need the parts to be in good used condition, no damage:
- STI levers
- brakes (w/ pads for std rims)
- FD (braze on) - ideally R8000
- RD (short cage) - ideally R8000
- chainset (172.5 mm compact)
Cassette and chain not required at the moment.
No issues in buying parts separately (as opposed to complete groupset) as far as I'm concerned, though it would make sense not to buy everything individually due to postage costs (oh - and I will need the parts posted to me by Royal Mail International).
Hit me up with the offers :).
- STI levers

The route is fixed but you basically don't really have much choice anyway :). And it is a classic self-supported format, though there will be a lot of things included to begin with :). More details to follow shortly. Cheers.
