**SOLD** 2017 Parlee Z1 Pista Carbon Track (55.5cm) **SOLD**

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.

Good man. Almost pushed the button for this but the Talbot had precedence :) looking forward to the build! T

No set plans for the build yet, perhaps some all american parts?

Like a Zipp Stem & Bars + Zipp Vuma Chrono cranks.

I have spare 28h wide carbon rims from @ekudduke and Goltec titanium track hubs so I will likely build them for this.

This is going to be so black and boring. Yawn.

Twin pink Arrospok

Haha. It's amazing. I hope you manage to get some crazyness captured in the finished bike.

brilliant

8000$???

Expensive mexican labour in the USA

Fuck me that's a lot of champagne.

Available to purchase at trade price for LFGSS...

Nice ride! I would change that black Chris King headset for a bright coloured set. Maybe CK turquoise.

+1 ano colours are the way to go.

Most interested in a build since that guy started mixing Sora with disc brakes.

frame looks like the carbonification of pure understatement, needs some colour imo.

Got a set of Rotors going if they'd suit your build mate? Cheers. Tom

Are you going to fit an electric motor on it, like your other bike?

I am beyond chuffed that this frame went on the forum! If it was a 53 I would definitely have had a go.

Mad bargain on the RRP as well.

I say murder it out, black with small silver hints. It's going to look great no matter what happens with the components you've got already.

The other bike falls into the utility category so electric assistance is acceptable.

Unlike the electronic assistance and magic bidons Chris Froome is using on the TdF right now...

The proprietary BB on the Rotors puts me off.

I have a DA track crankset in France on my Pinkarello so I will probably get a Miche Pista Air on it to go 'all italian' and use it on this.

Seeing that I don't do track, this will probably end up with wide risers like the Bridgestone Anchor PH9M.

In an ideal world, I would like a full American built but the choice of 'real' cranks is limited apart from Phil Woods & Paul Components

No matt black "3k carbon effect" crank boots yet?

No matt black "3k carbon effect" crank boots yet?

If I buy brand new cranks, you can bet I will fit crank boots!

Joke aside, could we please start a list of American companies producing bike parts in America?

I will start with:

• Parlee
  
• Zipp
  
• Phil Wood
  
• PAUL Components
  
  

Then technically FSA and Easton are American corporations but their stuff is made in the far east.

Not sure if Zipp produces anything in USA anymore...

1. Enve (still make their rims but rest of components are outsourced!)
   

White Industries
Wound Up

Some of the old Reynolds finishing kits like Ouzo

SRAM? But I suppose you don't want to use Omniums on this one.

Edit: they also seem to produce in Taiwan mainly
