Well, this one has been a work in progress. A mixture of ultra-modern parts combining with good old fashion functionality. It was as if the moons and stars where meant to align. When we here at Crankstar learnt of Parlee's intentions to release an internal Z5 Sli, it couldn't have come at a better time. Stalwart groupset manufacturer Shimano was just about to release their much anticipated Ultegra electronic groupo, and we knew it was only a matter of time before customers wanted to combine the two. So with only a minor delay, the finished product speaks for itself.
A delicious pallet of greys, silvers and blacks. Ride it, or frame it??
Super smooth cable exit points leave a fresh clean appearance. Shimano's new Ultegra carbon pedal completes the drive train.
Arundel's Trident matte carbon cages will keep a firm hold on the biddons. Note Parlee's carbon front derailleur clamp.
Hubs are from Alchemy laced with Sapim CX-Ray spokes and finished off with Hed's super impressive C2 rim.
The cockpit features Thompson's Road Stem combined with 3T's latest stealth carbon Pro bars. Fizik came through with the goods with this hard to find bar tape.Keep an eye out for this bad boy flying around Mooloolaba this weekend. I'm sure it will be turning a few heads.
