Review of condition
The frame set is in very good condition. It is clean and ready for build. There are no cracks, bulges or flexing that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame or the fork. The rear drop outs are in alignment with the the centerline of the frame. The rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. There is no road wear on the bottom of the down tube, the inside of the chain stays or the back of the seat tube. The carbon cable stops are undamaged and clear of obstructions.

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Parlee Z5 will make an excellent choice for the road cyclist who wants to upgrade to a very light and stiff full carbon frame set. This Z5 is in very good condition and it shows only light signs of wear. It is a blank slate upon which the new owner can create a masterpiece of cycling form and function. Built up with a SRAM Red group set, Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels and 3T bars and stem, the frame set will become a very light and fast road bike with a distinctive voice that speaks clearly of Parlee Cycle’s reputation for original design and high quality. Founder Bob Parlee is the Ernesto Colnago of the United States and the Z5 is a manifestation of his many years of experience and knowledge. A rare opportunity to join the Parlee Peleton on one of the finer stock frame sets available on the market today.
