Hi all, considering parting company with my Parlee Z-Zero frameset. It’s absolutely mint, raw carbon finish, recently refreshed with some hi-viz pink original Z-Zero decals. I also have another complete set of hi-viz orange and a full set of stealth black decals which can be easily changed up, all original and supplied from Nate at Parlee. Accepts all electronic groupsets. This one was a stock XS size, will come with Parlee seat post, clamp, headset, forks, bottle cage, gear hanger, all mint condition. I’ve never been a weight weenie however this frameset built with a Dura-Ace group and Enve classic wheels came in at 6.3 kg (with pedals), so it’s super light. Could easily be a sub 6kg with the right components. Prefer uk buyers, but will consider shipping internationally. This was and still is a £7k frameset from Parlee with a long waiting list. I’d be looking for offers around £3k, buyer pays shipping. These don’t come up for sale very often, actually this is the only one in this size I’ve ever seen for sale. It a true hand made timeless classic and very very desirable. Only selling as I’m having both my hips replaced so it’ll be sat doing nothing for the next 12 months. Not too sure when I will be back on a bike. Give me a shout if you’re interested.

Parlee Z3 frameset - supplied as a module, mint condition. Handmade perfection by Parlee Cycles. Timeless classic and very hard to obtain in this condition. Frameset was sent back to Parlee to be refinished in a beautiful clear coat which shows the true carbon craftsmanship and build quality, especially when in the sun. Since being returned it has never been rebuilt, it has remained in the original Parlee box ready to be built into that dream bike. As you would expect the finish Parlee have obtained is truly remarkable, I’ve never seen such a deep and rich gloss clear coat on any bike I’ve ever owned or seen. Absolutely mint condition. Built for mechanical groupsets although wireless groups such as SRAM Axa will work fine. Titanium rear dropouts, titanium BSA 68 Bottom Bracket Shell. Parlee seatpost clamp which has that magical purple hue and titanium bolt. Parlee Carbon gear hanger. Supplied with additional parts to make a module set ready for that perfect dream bespoke bike build: New Extralite low profile headset, which is a marvel of engineering in its own right, and cost a small fortune. Brand new and boxed Parlee carbon inline seatpost 31.9 diameter. Brand new Parlee bottle cage. Used but mint condition Specialized S-Works 90cm (6 degree +/-) stem. NOTE: if you don’t need these extra parts I’d be willing to negotiate an offer minus the Stem, Seatpost and Cage. Pictured without any carbon stem spacers to show that the fork steerer tube has plenty of adjustment. Probably about 20 -30mm. Will be supplied with carbon spacers. Frameset like these don’t come up very often, most owners normally keep their handmade Parlees for life, I’m only selling as I recently acquired a Parlee Z-Zero and already have a Parlee Altum LE. I need to lighten my stock to make room. This frameset is registered to me at Parlee, I have receipts for the work Parlee has performed and can put you in touch with Nate Plant at Parlee who I’m sure will vouch for my authenticity. Ideally I’d like to only ship within the UK, however willing to work with interested overseas buyers and may deliver to EU or the US at buyers costs. Any questions then please ask. Size is Extra Small. Top tube: 51cm (slope 7 degrees). Seat tube C to C: 44cm. Heat tube 12.6cm. Please note that only the Parlee Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z-Zero were handbuilt at Parlee in Beverly USA including the tubeset which used to be supplied by Enve for earlier Z models. Parlee developed their own in-house tube sets that they now meticulously create themselves. All other Parlee models are made like all other carbon bikes in China, don’t be fooled by adverts for Parlee Altums, and other models stating that they were handbuilt because the sellers are either lying or misinformed. The only exception is models such as the Z5 which were finished in Beverly, and custom painted models which are still made in China but hand finished at Parlee. If you want a true Parlee that has been lovingly hand-built from the ground up including all the lugs, tubes, titanium rear drops etc then only the Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z-Zero Will suffice.
