Full Spectrum Cycling #53 - Catching Up With Zito - Keep Pedaling!

March 28, 2020 0 Comments

Sven, JK and Tony practice social distancing in the studio while we welcome Zito for a chat through the magic of the interwebs.

I've been dialing in my Chumba Stella Ti lately. I'm probably going to replace that wicked cool Fox shock for a rigid carbon fork, maybe the Salsa Firestarter 110, to give the bike a more "bikepacking" angle. Hard to say! This bike is so versatile.
