New to WW...but thought I would show off this beauty I have just built....

Beautiful Parlee, but:
a) reduce number of pictures. Post just 1 or 2 and make a new thread in "Introduce your self" for all pictures and details of your bike.
b) Reduce size of the pictures

Lig: WOW just wow. Nice build and custom paint combo.
I miss the Jerk because your stem is still too short.
Your saddle is probably too high as well.
Oh, and your cleats too far forward.

Cheers Redbeard.

I am very pleased with how its turned out... the image doesnt really show it but there is 'Parlee' on the toptube / rear stays and forks in 'ghost' paint, but this shines through nicely in the sun..

Eigner - I have just put one image on here - when I reduce the size the quality is really naff??

Keep that image the way it is but this bike deserves its own thread. Just sayin.
Looks like some housing is a little long. There, I said something negative in order to appease the contemporary internet forum overseers.

Hi Redbeard...

I will start a thread with all the specs...

I know what you mean about the cable but by having a bit of extra length is just stops the cables rubbing and compression when turning?!?!

I will see how it goes and can always shorten it!!

Awesome bikes. However, I must ask. Do you guys actually ride these bikes? They are either never ridden and hence they are so clean or you guys have a cleaning crew taking care of them right after each ride. I just have never seen bikes so clean and museum quality :lol: :mrgreen: :lol:

Ive been accused of a lot of things but not riding my bike enough isnt one of them.

I took the pictures prior to first ride :wink: It still looks prestine though. I clean and maintain it very well. I figured I might as well take care of it since its valued way above 10.000$ :roll:

Hi Dgasmd,

Ride them? are you crazy :shock: - then they would get dirty!! These are just to look at!!

Heh heh.... yeah - I just built mine and so havent even test ridden it yet - but Yes I do intent to ride it BUT like eigner I will also keep it spotless... even my winter training bike looks like new as I give it a good clean every week (which at the moment with the bad weather is once a week)!! At least we dont have to clean our turbo bikes - :lol:

That white Parlee looks ace!
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

Very nice! What color is the "white" one above? Looks a little darker, maybe pearl or oyster?
