a Recreational RiderDate Reviewed: July 5, 2010
Strengths: Stiff BB area, fairly aggressive geometry that dives into corners well, very stiff front end with the tapered steerer, very light, classy looking.Weaknesses: It doesn't have a unicorn horn? A bit pricey if you have to buy at full retail, but that is every high-end frameset.Bottom Line: My Parlee Z4 was out of spec and upgraded via warranty to the 2010 Z5. This bike is definitely an evolution from the Z4, the only carbon bike I have ridden. Doesn't blow it away, but certainly it is stiffer, lighter and more refined. Feels very solid and handles all terrain superbly. Even the real rough stuff doesn't jar me that much.
I also received a custom pearl white paintjob and the frame still only weighed 880g in size M/L!
Favorite Ride: in the mountains
Purchased At: direct
Similar Products Used: Parlee Z4 2009, early 2000's Colnago Master X-light
Bike Setup: Campy record (BB30 adapter- works well), edge clinchers, Easton EC90 post and bars, fizik arione carbon saddle, deda superzero stem.
14.66lbs is the full weight with everything. Only one true weight weenie part on it, the rest if fairly stock components balancing performance/durability.
