2008 Parlee TT custom carbon frame 3T fork brake set BSC BB time trial triathlon black red XXL
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 2008 Parlee TT custom frame set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame set was ordered new from Parlee Cycles in 2008 for a cyclist who is 6 feet 3 inches tall (1.9 meters) with an inseam of about 35 inches (89 cm). It was built up and used for time trials in 2009. The bicycle was placed in storage at the end of the 2009 season. It was obtained by the current owner in 2011 and used primarily for display purposes. It was not ridden. The bicycle was parted out in 2013. It was never crashed. The owner is selling the frame set because he no longer uses it. The frame set features 3T Funda Pro front fork, Simkins Design Group Egg brake (front), chain stay mounted TRP 925 rear brake, Parlee carbon aero seat post and English thread bottom bracket. The frame features aero down tube, cut away aero seat post, twin aero seat stays, standard 1 1/8 inch to 1 1/8 inch integrated head set, internal cabling on the top tube and down tube, Parlee carbon front derailleur hanger, titanium vertical rear drop outs, integrated seat post collar, distinctive black and red finish and Parlee custom shop provenance. The frame set as shown weighs 5 pounds 12 ounces (2.6 kg). No serial number is given because it is a custom frame. Mechanical cabling only. Ships in custom made box. Please see 108 additional images of the frame set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page.

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Parlee TT frame set will make an excellent choice for the very tall cyclist (over six feet) who seeks an aero frame set for time trials or triathlons. The frame set is in very good condition. It shows immaterial signs of wear and it has many more hours of use remaining in its carbon tubes. The frame set is very light for its size and a blank slate upon which the new owner can originate a masterpiece of aero form and function. Built up with a Zipp 900 Disc / Zipp 808 wheel set, Zipp Vuma Chrono crank set and Zipp Vuka aero bars, the frame set will become a very fast time trial bike with a voice that speaks seriously of power and speed. A rare and excellent opportunity for the very tall cyclist to join the Parlee peleton.
