It's vintage for me as you can see from the bike and outfit photos of the time it was 1995.
I just remember a long but easy pass because it was a time when compacts didn't exist, I must have been 40*25

C'est du vintage pour moi comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos vélo et tenue d'époque c'était en 1995.
J'ai juste le souvenir d'un col assez long mais facile aussi car c'était un temps où le compact n'existait pas, je devais avoir 40*25
