"Just got back from my inaugural ride on my new Parlee. I wanted to say that this bike far surpasses my highest expectations. I have raced and ridden a lot of different bikes over the years. And, I have come to expect that, generally, bike technology has improved so that each new one is a little better than the last one. But, this time the improvement is so dramatic. It is silky smooth on the flats, accelerates like a dragster, climbs like a missile and descends like a bobsled. And the paint job only serves to highlight its understated class."

"My Z1 is a thrill to ride, especially when I need to stomp over a hill or away from a stop sign in the big ring. It is a light and stiff but very comfy ride for long trips. On descents it has that fantastic balanced take-me-home-with-my-eyes-closed handling that I look for, and I am always ready for more once my time is up. Bravo Bob!!!"

"My PARLEE is the best bike that I have ridden. Not only is my PARLEE incredibly responsive under power during accelerations and sprints, but it maintains a very fine degree of road feel allowing me to really fly around corners. I cannot imagine racing on anything else."

"The PARLEE frame I rode in this year’s Mt. Washington hill climb is the lightest feeling, most responsive, most comfortable road bike I have ever ridden. In short, it is everything that I would recommend for someone looking to invest in a long-lasting companion for the road. It seems to do everything well - sprint, climb, corner, brake, and absorb just the right amount of road vibration. I've done a few long rides on it too, and found it very comfortable over distances, taking the edge off bumpy roads and giving you a bit of extra energy at the end. I think the bike is very close to perfect."

"I was again amazed by the ride on a PARLEE frame in this year’s Mount Washington hill climb...the quick handling, fast acceleration, and uncompromising power transfer. You get the most power out of each pedal stroke when you need it most on steep grades. In addition, the PARLEE rates the best performance-to-weight ratio in any frame I've ever ridden. I appreciate the quick-handling geometry. It is the quickest bike I've ever ridden in all aspects. I could not have broken my previous record without it."

"The best riding of my life has been on my PARLEE. It makes me want to ride! It is all day comfortable yet climbs and descends brilliantly. The workmanship is in a class of its own for carbon frames."
