There is however only one thing that bike needs.

A Chris King headset.

I would agree with that, having finally got my first one this year.

 

 

Cool to see a South African builder on this thread. His story was explored elsewhere on this forum - packed up and went to London to apprentice, then went out on his own. Essentially did what a lot of us talk about doing...

 

Kudos for that!

Parlee launched the ESX for 2014, a new aero-road frame. The Massachusetts-based frame builder developed its first aerodynamic road bike after more than two years of CAD modeling, wooden prototyping, and wind tunnel testing.

 

Before showing the bike to the public, Bob Parlee tested his frame in a wind tunnel, and compared it to two popular bikes from other companies—Cervelo’s R-series, with its Squoval tubes shapes, and Trek’s Madone, which uses Kammtail Virtual Foil shapes. The test revealed, said Parlee, that the new ESX incurs less drag at a wider range of wind angles. An extra benefit: it’s also very quiet as it rolls along the road.
