Parlee Z Zero: Climbing Mountains Edition


After over a decade of building amazing custom bikes for this client, the Overlord offered to build something special. He’s the only one in Colorado, and one of just a very few in the US, who can install and maintain a hidden motor system.

This build utilizes a Parlee Z Zero disc frame in order to ensure a full custom fit- particularly important if you fall outside typical modern sizing.

Parlee does beautiful carbon layup and this frame shows it off to perfection. Decals add a unique pop while keeping it lighter than paint.

Staying true to the lightweight frame, Berd wheels were chosen as the Sparrow weighs in around 1100grams.

More about me

This- the hidden motor system- has been a game changer for our clients. When you have health or other problems holding you back or when your fitness level isn’t where you feel comfortable- this kind of build can level the field.

It can help open up longer harder rides as you know you have a bailout option to help you get over the steepest parts- allowing you to rebuild confidence in your own abilities. And best of all, doing it so discreetly that your riding buddies only know when you tell them.

The builds are on par weight wise with modern disc brake builds which means there isn’t a drawback to riding with the motor and not using it. It’s the umbrella to prevent the rain.
