Pink Parlee Z3 with Lew Wheels
View the Gallery
We have had many requests for pink bicycles, and decided to build one to demonstrate the ride of the Parlee to smaller riders. We had Dave Sem of Sem Custom Paint create the pearl pink lettering, and then built the bike with Campagnolo Record components. We put Lew PRO VT-1 wheels on the bike and ended up with a 12 lb delight. This is an Extra Small Parlee Z3, which is a stock size. We have had women as small as 5' 0" ride the bike, and keep it set up for women around 5'2"-5'3". The bike is shown as we set it up for our partner Carrie Carmichael, a personal trainer next door at Personal Fitness Revolution. She is a perfect example of a long waisted woman needing a longer top tube and very low saddle height.
This brings up a good point. We fit bicycles to people, not the other way around, so the way the bike may "look" may or may not meet with some people's idea of "correct". The bike is correct for the rider, however, and that is how we like it.
We have a huge gallery of over 50 images behind this article. Click on the link to see some awesome views of this beauty.
