The brake cable housing ferrules should be removed or necked ferrules should be installed, so that the housing seats properly in the barrel adjusters. I don't believe that the barrel adjusters have a large enough inner diameter to accept non-necked ferrules.
Also, I'd appreciate if the OP would post or PM me with the serial number. I'm curious to know if this model used the same source as for their other production models (i.e Yamaguchi) or if they were contracted to a more upscale manufacturer, as they did with the preceding Cinelli Design series.
