Hi all,
I have just purchase a 2017 Parlee Z1 carbon track frame, handmade in the USA this year to the original owner's specification in February 2017.
The frameset retails for about 7,999$ new currently, mainly linked to the fact that Parlee make every part of this frame in-house, including the tubes.
Here’s some features on the frame:
· Handmade in the USA
· Built using Parlee’s stiffest, custom XD tubeset, designed for sprinting
· Track-specific solid carbon rear brake bridge
· Titanium rear dropouts
· Chris King 1 1/8” headset
· Enve road fork (43mm rake)
· English threaded BB shell
· Parlee 31.6mm carbon seatpost
The frame has a ‘waxed’ finish, and has the Parlee logos very subtly etched into the frame on the downtube, and seatstays, with a black reflective “P” logo on the headtube.
The lugs are finished in a distinct 3k weave, that provides a good contrast to the appearance of the unidirectional carbon used on the tubes.
