Parlee Z5 sli, beater Z4 and an Aethos

if your BB is PF30 i have a Wheels manufacturing converter to install shimano cranks.

I don’t have a bb for this frame yet but it will be when I eventually get one...

Ah, no worries man! Thought I’d ask as we’ve got a frame in common!

Now that I’ve had a look about, it doesn’t look like it’ll be something really difficult to source. I’m seeing loads of BB30 options with the converter to 24mm already attached...

i mean i have one for sale

This is what it’s looking like at the mo...

Strong start! Did you say you have 9000 cranks for it? 👍🏻
What’s the rear mech? How big a cassette do you plan on using? Looooong cage!

Yup yup yup. 9000 chainset with the rest being di2 ultegra 8000.
I have an 11-28 for the rear and the Rd is the gs version so can take up to a 34 rear cassette (I believe).

Ah, cheers @mattyc but @Glws has already sorted me with one! Waiting for it to arrive then it’s build time!

Sigh....I used to have a (standard) Z5 I sold about 5 years ago and really, really regret it. Sold it to fund a new Di2 build (Addict). Lovely frames...

That’s a beauty alright!

I should probably just start my own project page but since I’m already here... @Glws sold me a bb which works with my frame and cranks and here’s an update. Shaping up quite nicely!

looks pretty trick - the headtube extension is pretty inoffensive too!

It’s the stem and bars that are distracting attention from it 😂

@braceman91 looks great! 👍🏻👍🏻

swag. really there is nothing better than a da9000 53-39 crankset

It's gonna go down as a future classic. I still think that gen DA was the best. It shifted just immaculately.

aesthetically speaking it is probably my favourite chainset ever

GodandFamous do wheels?

Ha! Don’t we wish?! But nah, just stickered up some wheels.

ahh thought I had missed something!

What wheels are on this?

They're the 40mm carbon rimmed selcof wheels from planet x

This looks great, did you sand the stem before lacquering? My standard/matt 3t ARX is the only that bugs me about my bike.

Hi, no, I acetoned off the logos, painted the stem gloss black then went over with 2 coats of lacquer, the matte finish of the stem is a good key for the paint 👍🏻

Thank you!

Skinny wheels, traditional drops coming...
