Furbz Posted March 16, 2021 Share First a disclaimer.i am the dealer for Parlee Cycles in Southern Africa. This bike is my own personal bike. hence why i am keeping this on my personal profile. Parlee along with all other bike brands world wide are suffering with a shortage of groupsets.I brought this bike in as a rolling chassis. The Rolling Chassis kit includes all below all brand new: 2021 Parlee RZ7 LE framesetEnve Foundation 45 wheelset - tubeless tape and valves includedParlee integrated carbon barsParlee integrated stemParlee integrated Garmin out front mount2x Parlee carbon bottle cagesParlee carbon seatpost150mm Fizik Argo R5 Saddle2x Tubeless ready 28mm Vittoria Corsa Graphine 2.0 TiresParlee through axlesCane Creek Headset bearingsTubes (i will not be using these as i plan on riding this bike tubeless)Arundel bar tapeSo the only thing missing was a groupset and bottom bracket. Thankfully i was able to source an almost new Force Etap AXS groupset with around 1000km of use.This included a Force Quark power crank which is a nice extra to have! I was also able to source a DUB BB for the frame today. So now i have the fun assembly ahead of me!
