Tyres are always a point of deliberation (and often leads to lengthy discussions here in the office!) and we settled on Schwalbe G-One All Rounds with tan walls. Anyone who has used those tyres knows how versatile they are, rolling quick on the road, quick on the dirt and predictably when things get a muddy. They also look sweet to boot!

Our final touch was putting Cinelli Caleido tape on – the subtle colours that show through the perforations match up precisely with the spots of colour on the frame.

However and wherever your Zydeco takes you, let the colours of the frame inspire you to new heights, distances and places.

All bikes are fully built, inspected, test ridden and then carefully packaged before being shipped out the door. Whilst we try to make the bikes as 'ready to ride out of the box' as possible, to safely package them some minor disassembly is necessary. On receiving the bike the stem will need to be turned, the handlebars installed, saddle height adjusted, and pedals fitted (it’s always worth checking your tyre pressure too!). All the necessary tools for doing this (except the pump) are included in the box and it should take less than 30 minutes to have your bike ready to go.
