Parlee Z-Proto [en]
Following the exceptionals bikes you could see lately on the website, movrnotashakr has been lucky to see his dream become true some weeks ago with a Parlee entirely custom. A customized and hand made paint, high-end components and a good amount of creavity have made the project turn real. Assembled by Fairwheelbikes taking place in Tucson in the USA and painted by SEM Custom paint specialized in very specific paints.
Here is the enlightened descriptive of this dreaming machine:
Total weight assembled: 5,08Kg
The work realized by the painter / artist is really unbelievable, the frame, the fork and the stem required hours of work and absolutely everything is painted by hand even the "Made in USA". The frame has got some ghost paint that is visible only under certain angles.
The bike has been presented at the Interbike some time ago:
