Here's a quick sneak peak of a Parlee Z5 we are building right now. Had to stop as we have the wrong sized spindle for the compact Cannondale SI SRM crank and also didn't get the correct length for the custom battery mount. Learn something every day here... This bike is just plain rad, in aesthetic and performance. I think I may even have issues falling asleep tonight thinking of the finished product! Lightweights w/ the blacked out logo's, said SI SRM, pretty damn cool Deda aluminum post, The hard to get Continental Competition classics tires, our favorite bars and stem in the Deda Zero 100's, Shimano Di2 and of course a Fizik saddle...
Hopefully getting a Saturday delivery for the longer spindle...
This is a 104mm spindle, but when using a compact SI crank you need a special width, not really sure what that is now, guess we'll see tomorrow...
Parlee, please do us one favor and keep this logo...
At first, wasn't sure I'd dig this post. Now, I like. Quite a bit actually...
Bad pic, sorry, but this is the custom battery mount. Nice, clean and simple.
Again, nice, clean and simple. Had to keep the bolt here for the SRM magnet...

Most likely won't be able to finish the bike until Tuesday, but we'll have some great photo's for you all! Thanks for reading. And yes, the KOBH report is coming, like I said, hard to sit still today!
