The aim of this build was to create a bike that is sub 15lbs and race ready, with a price under $5000.
The foundation is a Parlee Z4 Md (55cm). The Z4 was chosen because of its mix of characteristics. A frame that is without a doubt race ready. Durable, light, stiff and comfortable combined in the best ratios we've seen in a stock frame.
