First ride with the cadenza. A nice bike!
  • probable weak point: the wheels;
    I ordered an 11-32 cassette and a 12-32 came instead. I installed the 12-32 cassette because I wanted a lower low gear than what comes standard on the Cadenza (11-28T).

    On the ride today, I had to Stop part-way and fine tune the dérailleur, reposition the seat, and handlebars. Some further fit adjustments may be necessary.

    Some photos of the bike including a shot of the "Eccentric Bottom Bracket":







    I like the bike and expect to get a lot of road use out of it.
