Well I might be a little late in posting the story, but our first
Z5 project for 2012 is finished with one happy customer ripping around the streets of Brisbane on his new custom
Parlee build. It is a superb representation of modern day products melting together to give a classic and classy feel to something which was built with function as its main aim. Here are some pics of the finished product.
The custom pin-striped Campag groupo matches the Parlee logos perfectly to give this build a personal touch. This groupo caused a sensation at the shop. People where coming in just to check it out!
I'm a bit bias towards American products these days, but the Campag Record groupo seems made for the Parlee. Thompson stem & seat post combo was a must. Lizard Skin bar tape rounds off the cockpit. Much grip?? indeed!
The custom hand built Alchemy hubs with Hed C2 rims and Sapim CX-Ray spokes compliment the frame in both looks and performance. We were surprised at how the wheels combined with the frame to give this bike a special feel. It is not too often you hop on a bike and straight away feel a sense of security. This bike with all of its different elements combine to give you something which is hard to find these days, balance. No stones left un-turned. The Zen of custom bike builds.
