Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

parlee

Hi I found a parlee z4 at my lbs. It has full Dura Ace complete inculding cranks. They are asking 4,350 dollars. But it is a 06 moddle left over. Do you think this is a good deal or should i look for a beter deal. Thanks for the help.

What are the wheels, and other components.

You can get the frame for $2999, so without some expensive wheels, I would say $4350 is an ok deal for DA 7800, and a 3 year old frame, but not a steal.

Then it's way too much money. You could get a new Z4 frameset for $3000, some decent wheels, and 09 Rival (or dig up some left over 7800 for about the same) for the same price... and it would be "new".

$4000 tops... $3800 would be a really good though.

The Z4 is a great frame and of course 7800 is still nice (I'd rather have it than the 7900 junk).
