got a very exciting box today
uncut fork…
custom painted frame in med with… seat clamp, rear hanger, cable adjusters and bottom cable guide 
gunning for a sub 6kg build
thanks to wiggle sending my bb30 cups to some one else’s address no building until i get new cups from the fair city of Melbourne tomorrow…
We have the same taste (or lack thereof) in furnishings
touché good sir
Shit, If I got Crabon it would be a Parlee… Very good taste in bikes good sir
don’t mind the eastern bars and stem they are not staying, just holding the forks on 
Have you put a rough price on this sub 6kg build? Interested to see the parts list on this one.
i have 90% of the parts on my CDA so the only new parts are an extralite OS stem ( when they come back into stock ), a set of BB30 cups, and a new seat post.
i worked out the ebay and other places i know where to get things cheap and the replacement build price with all new stuff is less than 10 but more than 5…

90mm stem and 6mm of spacers?
PRO fail…
although i can see how running a shorter stem is a weight saver!
had the saddle clear coated by a frag
wow it looks mickey mouse!!!
happy with the 0.9g weight gain too…
sugarkne that is ucking impressive, but at the same time JKLP’s Cannondale is sub 6kg if not just off it and im sure it cost no wear near that much… not dissing though coz its going to be awesome obviously
whaT Part of ‘don’t mind the bars and stem’ doesn’t any one get??
there will be a lot of spacers for a week or so until i get the fit guy around to dial in the position
and i’ve always run 90mm stems on my bikes…
better than a too smaller frame and a 120mm stem…
this thing is worth a lot less than my friends 5.8kg r3sl
and it’s a ‘parlee’ not a cannondale i really didn’t want something i can walk into half a dozen shops and just ride out the door…
nothing against the 'dale or any other bike like that but the parlee frame set floats my boat pretty hard so thats what i got…
i also sold a bunch of stuff and will sell the serotta frame so i’m not out of pocket much on the build any way…
hell i have no mortgage, children or a wife so why the fuck not… i got what i wanted and i’m pretty dam happy with that
Everyone’s just jealous. I look forward to the next build pics!
i’m not jealous
Can we get a pie chart to represent that? I haven’t seen one for a while and the last one I missed and contained a lot of dated ideas…
This will be a very light bicycle.
dude im totes jealous, and i definitely agree on parlee bikes floating boats! i was just saying… well because i was/am jealous
I’m fitting some ax-lightness forks to my mates r3sl tonight…
I’ll sNap a couple of pics… That thing is crazy… He’s got an ax seatpost and brakes as well
But its only a few G’s lighter than my MUCH cheaper parlee
It’s a very hot and sorted little bike though…
ok, i’ll update to reflect your fascination with light road bikes - a departure from your fascination with “true” track geometry 
haha now thats totally what i’m talking about…
