    One year of testing in the most demanding criterium races with the collaboration of MASH-SF riders. Parallax is the evolution of the most demanding urban track frames. Boggling seat and steering tubes angles, shorter stays and 28mm rake fork: a thoroughbred horse waiting to be tamed. Sprinting, responsive, Mash.

  • I'm presuming the crankset is by Miche

  • Wheels? The bike is Brandnew?

  • Miche x-press

  • Wait until he drop the price or buy individual build it with different parts youll save some £££

  • Thanks AlphaOmega. what about the sizing I mentioned?

  • If its too big, it will always be too big.

    Unless you are still growing?

    I've bought bikes in the larger size (I'm between 2 sizes) and spent the whole term of owning the bike regretting not getting the smaller size.

    Edit: Just seen you are 5'8"- Get a 52 - My opinion

  • We're the same height i ride histogram 52cm with 110 17°` stem and parallax 54cm 11o stem 17° i am happy if you want to try my histo before committing to buy

  • Thanks for the offer. Where you based?

  • Shepherd bush

  • I may take you up on that. As mk1mark said a 52 will probably be the better option

  • Choose wisely;)
