Thank you Lennard! I have great memories of hanging out with you folks at your house and the shop in North Boulder and doing some time trials…Always a positive part of my life Zinn has been! On that note I need a mountain bike when we get to some normalcy! I hope you are getting out for some rides. The weather is trying to change in Vermont so whenever I see the sun Im out on the Zinn. Performance wise the Zinn is amazing. The bike feels like a part of me and so the bike is a part of me. Comfortable, reactive and just good ol fun to ride. I love the wider seat you suggested and the wider bars opens up the lungs. Which I need! Im very happy with the Dura Ace groupo.. Shifting smooth and precise. The Whiskey forks really drive the bike well through turns and so stable on clips. The energy transfer on climbs is seamless. Though the sizing of the cogs/chainwheels is a challenge-this gives me a good reference to my fitness. The disc brakes are truly a joy. Feathering the brakes in turns is subtle but responsive. Well thats all I have for now bud. Yall take care and lets talk soon about the mountain bike. Thanks, Eric.
