2010 Parlee Z5 XL Tall compact carbon road frame set black
Frame and Wheel is bringing a black 2010 Parlee Z5 XL Tall compact carbon frame set to market on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame set was purchased new by Josh Freeman of Freeman’s Bicycle Service in October 2009 when Mr. Freeman was an employee of Peak Performance, an authorized Parlee dealer located in Portland, Maine. The frameset has an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 fair weather training miles on it. It has never been crashed, it has had only one previous owner and it has been professionally maintained by Mr. Freeman. It was previously built-up with SRAM Force components and a SRAM Red BB30 bottom bracket. The components were removed and the frameset placed in storage at a bike store in October 2010. Mr. Freeman is selling the frame set because he has less time to ride it. The frame set features a BB 30 bottom bracket, carbon drop outs, a moveable carbon front derailleur hanger “belt”, carbon cable stops, a carbon seat collar, a titanium rear brake mount and bottom bracket shell, red lettering on the bottom of the down tube and a towering 22 cm head tube. Cabling is external and headset is integrated. The frame set as shown weighs 1.42 kg (3 pounds 2 ounces). The serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket reads SN PCZ09J59T961. The serial number on the steer tube of the front fork reads: 0908 0462. The steer tube is uncut. There is no seat post included in this sale. Instruction manual not included. There are about 80 images of this frame at Frame and Wheel eBay Selling Services and on Facebook at Frame and Wheel. Please take a look. The frame is being sold as is.

Review of Condition
The frame is in very good condition and shows only light signs of wear and tear. It is clean and there are no cracks, scratches or bubbles in the finish of the frame. There is no wear on the underside of the down tube, on the bottom of front fork crown, on the back of the seat tube or on the chain stays. The front and rear forks are in alignment with the the centerline of the frame and the rear derailleur hanger is straight. There is no corrosion in the water bottle bolt holes, the seat post collar bolt or the rear derailleur hanger bolt holes and bolts. The barrel adjusters work properly. Frame and Wheel notes the following: the area on the seat post underneath the moveable carbon front derailleur hanger belt shows some wear. There is some wear on the down tube around the water bottle bolts from a water bottle cage. There is some wear on the right and left side of the head tube from brake cables. There are two chips in the finish of 5 x 5 mm in size and some smaller scratches on the outward face of drive side chain stay from the chain. There are five 1 x 2 mm chips on the under side of the drive side chain stay. There is some corrosion on the barrel adjuster screws. The outside face of the rear derailleur hanger shows markings from the quick release nut. The inside and outside faces of the rear and front dropouts show markings from the locknut of the hub and the quick release. The “lawyer tabs” on the front drop outs have been filed away. Frame and Wheel carefully inspected this frame, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
The Parlee Z5 XL Tall is a very light frame set for its size. This frame set, which is a 57 cm using the center to top seat post length as the standard of size, weighs 1.42 kg or 3 pounds 2 ounces (frame, fork and headset components). This is 30% lighter than the BH G5 in a size 57, 8% lighter than the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL3 in a size 52 and 4% lighter than the Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon in a size 56. The light weight is the result of the tube to tube construction of the frame and the use of carbon in constructing the front derailleur hanger belt, the drop outs, the cable stops and the seat collar. The BB 30 bottom bracket perhaps lowers the weight of the frame too. This frame set will suit the taller rider who wants to upgrade to a very light frame, but who seeks the more comfortable position afforded by this frame’s “tall” head tube. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain a premium boutique carbon frame set at a valuation that will inspire some great rides and generate plenty of envy.
