2008 Parlee Z1

Love the bike and the build.
If you are wanting to change the color there are only two ways to go in my opinion but that is worth what on this site.
All black - since the frame is flat black, I would go with a high gloss sticker set in black and change the tape, cables and seat to black.
White - keep the saddle and bar tape and get the frame painted white with PARLEE on the downtube in nude. I think it would be great to have the PARLEE on the downtube showing the nude carbon frame which they are known for.

Of course, sorry I didn't write what I was thinking.rd wrote:That's an Aliante isn't it?
Very nice. I wouldn't make any changes; too bad white tape is often hard to keep clean.

Nice looking bike Carbon_Cowboy. 
Leave it as it is because its an beautiful build up bike. For the paintjob, maybe put on some clear cote as finishing touch. 
The only thing that i would change on you're bike are the pedals. Put on some white Speedplay Zero's and you're bike is 100% an eye catcher. Here in Belgium Parlee bikes are very rare with i can't understand. If i had the money for a second bike, it will be a Parlee 
Keep up the good work and have fun with you're bike and keep us posted regarding the paintjob!
