2021 Cinelli Zydeco
Part Diary,
Part Technical Manual, Part Tips & Tricks
I haven't been riding as much lately, just being less motivated in recent years. But I have never owned a bike with disc brakes and thru-axles, so when I saw an ad for a new Cinelli Zydeco, I jumped on a great deal and picked it up in Santa Cruz on January 17, 2022. After my first ride, I realized the derailers were not setup properly, so after a little bit of adjustment, the bike is shifting tip top. I've done a couple of rides so far and the bike feels good. I may install a shorter stem and remove some spacers at the headset.
12/3/2022 - I installed a Brooks C15 Carved saddle on the bike. I've been riding this bike the most lately, since its comfortable and the drivetrain has very wide gearing.
