Fedaia Custom Disc Brake Road Bike

Our Fedaia road bike is a one-of-a-kind disc brake road bike. It is similar to our Dolomite bike but features upgraded disc brakes to provide superior control and enhanced braking power for taller or heavier riders. Custom disc brakes are not mandatory, but most cycling enthusiasts appreciate the increase in stopping power they get with a well-made disc brake system. Electronic shifting groups, wireless, and standard mechanical shifting systems, are available. Hydraulic disc brakes or mechanical disc brakes can be added to the Fedaia, depending on your needs and specifications. To increase the stiffness and responsiveness of the Fedaia, we use through-axle hubs and a tapered fork

At Zinn, we focus on the personal needs of the customer. We need precise measurements to build the perfect disc brake road bike and get the job done right. Lennard Zinn leads our team of experts and has over 40 years of experience in the custom bike-building industry. At 6-feet 6-inches tall, he understands the needs of all-size riders. For decades, Lennard has fine-tuned bike building and constructed more durable and stronger models than other custom-made bikes. His designs are lighter and more responsive to give you top-notch performance while reducing the toll cycling can place on the body. 

To achieve the ultimate fit and enhanced performance, we zero in on the ideal crank length for the customer. All Fedaia custom models feature our unique frame design, hand-picked tubing, frame materials, and proportionally sized cranks to provide a ride like no other. Regardless of your physical attributes, we will build a perfect bike with custom disc brakes you will cherish for years to come.

Zinn Cycles Design Philosophy

For almost four decades, Lennard Zinn has been at the forefront of bike design, helping to improve the performance and durability of bikes for all types of riders. He is one of the few bike designers in the world who has dedicated his career to improving the ride for big and tall cyclists and petite women. In addition, he has worked closely with Dr. Andy Pruitt to design bikes for cyclists who have suffered from injuries, knee, neck, and back problems, and many other ailments. As a result, countless riders now enjoy the benefits of cycling, regardless of their size or health. Thanks to Lennard Zinn’s dedication to bike design, riders of all shapes and sizes can experience the joys of cycling.

When building custom bikes for big and tall people, we consider several factors that are key to creating a comfortable and enjoyable ride. Simply scaling up a standard frame is not the solution and will lead to many problems. As a result, it is essential to design custom frames for big and tall riders that account for height, weight, and physical proportions. With this in mind, our team can create a bike that is both comfortable and rideable, ensuring that big and tall riders can enjoy the same freedom of movement and performance as everyone else.

At high speeds, the stretched-out tubes become less stiff, and severe frame shimmy may occur. Shimmying is a dangerous phenomenon caused by poorly designed bikes. Second, the heavier the frame is, the less efficient it will be. The added materials cause these bikes to become more stressful on riders’ joints and cause injury. Third, if you have a big or tall cyclist, you need to have a proportionally-sized fork that is long enough to ensure comfort. Fourth, average-length cranks will never get the job done right and may give the rider an unnatural feel when riding. 

Our custom bike designs are all about the proportional crank length. It’s what gives our bikes their unique feel and performance. Without the correct proportions, a custom-made bike isn’t custom. We offer cranks in several lengths to ensure a proper fit for any rider. Our selection includes cranks ranging from 130mm to 220mm, and we’re confident that we have the right size crank to fit your needs. Lennard has developed some intuitive frame design concepts and can solve many different problem areas.

At Zinn Cycles, we pride ourselves on designing bikes to perform at the highest level. Whether you’re looking for a race-ready road bike or a rugged mountain bike, our bikes will meet your needs. Our proprietary designs and construction techniques ensure that our bikes are stiff, strong, and not too heavy. And because we understand the importance of fit, our bikes are designed to provide superior comfort and performance, no matter your size or riding style. So if you’re looking for a bike that will give you an edge over the competition, look no further than Zinn Cycles. We guarantee that you won’t find a better-performing bike anywhere else.

Make it a Travel Bike

Add S&S Couplers for easy travel

Titanium and steel frames can be built with S&S couplings, allowing for easy disassembly for travel. Adding Zinn couplers does not reduce bike frame strength and can result in a physically superior structure. Depending on frame size, we can add two to four couplers. Bigger bikes need four couplers, while smaller bikes can get away with just two. The result is a portable travel bike that breaks down into sections and fits into an airline regulation travel case. S&S Couplings are so strong they are the most reliable points on the frame, making them an ideal choice for a travel bike.

Remember, when transporting your bike, not all bicycles are created equal. Bikes like 29ers, touring bikes with racks and fenders, and e-bikes may or may not require a secondary bag or case to carry some bike parts. That’s where couplers come in. Couplers allow you to disassemble your bike into sections, making it much easier to pack into an airline regulation case. And because we design our couplers for your specific model, you can be sure that your bike will fit seamlessly without submitting your frame and components to damage. So if you’re looking for a way to make traveling with your bike a breeze, contact us about building your bike with S&S couplers today.
