A real rider's ride. I enjoyed every minute of this special build. Parlee's flagship, the Z1. The attention to detail that goes into crafting a bike like this is amazing. There is simply nothing better. When Andrew visited us at Crankstar with a clear vision of what bike he was after, the ball started rolling pretty quick! A timeless yet classy look with components to suit and compliment every aspect of the build. Even the wheels got the custom treatment. In the end, it has turned out to be one of the most ride-able bikes Brisbane has seen. And to think his friends laughed when we promised delivery before Christmas. A big thanks must go out to Bob, Tom & the boys at Parlee for getting it all done smoothly and on schedule as well as Peter from Cycling Edge who personally hand delivered this masterpiece to the Crankstar door.

Enve Bar & Stem combo = Sexual Chocolate!
The cockpit turns on a dime thanks to a Chris King No-Threadset.
Classy custom Parlee decals compliment the timeless lines on the Parlee Z1. Arundel carbon bidon cages in their slick finish will hold the bidons.
A better look at the custom Alchemy hubs built into Hed's C2 rims using Sapim cx-ray spokes. All done in-house at Crankstar. Ceramic Speed jockey wheels guide the chain through Shimano's Dura-ace Di2 rear mech. Note the fabricated titanium hangers which guide the Di2 cable perfectly. You can see the attention to detail that goes into the bonding process here.
