This might be my favorite bike ever (would be better with 4.5's or 6.7's).

I've lusted after this for a few years.

I have many favorites which hopefully I'll get the time to track down.
Perhaps the most interesting is Martin's Wilier Zero7... which was already a fantastic bike but he crashed (Czech drivers :roll: ), picked himself up and while recovering rebuilt it even better than before.

I'm not usually a fan of "stealth" bikes, but that Wilier is extremely well done.

[quote="saibot"][quote="kfreytag"]Okay, somebody asked about that "Candy Apple Red Parlee", so I guess I can post this even though it belongs to me.

Reminds me a lot of the Klein Q-Pro paint from ten years ago.

I may have jumped the gun slightly here as I'm still mid build (I'm just so excited to finally get to paint stage)
Am I actually allowed to post my own bike on this thread or is that rather presumptuous? :noidea:
If so I'll delete it :thumbup:

Hi thanks for your kind comments :thumbup:
Originally it weighted 10.23 kilo setup as I TT bike so no lightweight. My aim is to reach 6.8kilo or slightly less if possible. I'm still building it but calculations so far show its getting close to 6.8k very close :D
