Parlee Z5

Edited 06/13/2012 for better photos.
Recently upgraded from a 2010 Tarmac (pics in my signature). I posted this in the "Parlee" thread, but figured I'd give it it's own. The only parts I kept from the Tarmac were the wheels, saddle, pedals, and cages. I'm certain I'll do a little upgrading in the future, but for now, I'm very, very pleased with how my mid-life crisis bike came out. With my rubbish scale, it's came in right at 15 lbs. so, I'm thinking that with a more quality scale, it might get in the high 14 lbs range.

Threw it on my luggage scale and it came in at 13.8 lbs. with these wheels.
Very nice understated look. WOW is a nice change from all the BOB stealth builds.
Nice component selection. Enjoy riding it.
