The bar angle seems a little off. Seems like the stem of the bar/stem combo doesn't have enough negative rise for the head angle of the bike. Maybe on a bigger bike with a steeper HTA it would look/work better.

Nice bike, but I would advise making home maintenance a priority as that garage door frame looks like it is in bad need of repair.

Not my garage but I'll be sure to tell my neighbour :rolleyes:

Hope the critics aren't too tough on this one. No chain, valve stems aren't aligned. I wanted a couple shots with the Enves before they find their way to its new home/owner.

Specialized sure makes a mean bike if that's all stock. It even pulls off the two tone bar tape.

Hot.

the bar tape was swapped by me.
added keo's and arundel matte carbon dave-o cages.
other than that, completely stock.
14lbs 11oz as shown.

Hot!

Tires get a pass for being green as they are the Pave tires. IMHO the only tire where color is acceptable.

Overall not in love with the color or general wavy design of Pina.

Cmon man, this is the internet, where everyone drives a Ferrari F50 and has a supermodel for a girlfriend. I'd ride that Pinn with pink/ purple polka dot tires and be proud. :)

HOT and then some :thumb:

14.11 essentially stock...EFF me!! saaweeet

@Primov....As usual...way hot!!!

Black Lightning in my sig. I'm trying to get some advise on where to go with this. Note, bike now has wireless computer.

Parlee Z5 SLi (M/l Tall size) D-A Di2 with Zipp carbon cockpit, D-A 7900-24 tubeless wheels with Maxxis Padrone tires. Recently switched to 52/36 Praxis rings and 3T tape. I know this is bland to many folks but it floats my boat. 15 pounds, 1 ounce. I apologize for having moved this past summer and no longer have a garage door for proper photo composition. I leave on the Tracko Ramblin Roll for pics because I like to show off its relative scarcity.

It looks a little large for you, but I like where this is going.

The biggest eyesore to me is the wheels. I just think paired spokes look a bit dated, and not in a "classic" way.

I'll give the Parlee a Hot because it looks set up well for riding, not for posin' on the innernets. The aftermaket rings look pretty bad though.

The Centurion is Not. Sorry. It looked rough when you got it, but I like the original paint, and the attempt to modernize it doesn't really work aesthetically.

I like the centurion. I am doing the same modernizing with my allez. just needs the carbon forks and newhead set/stem is all-David

Hot! I love Parlee bikes. Lop of that remaining steerer tube = a 15lbs bike? :D

Lol

What's going on with the lacing of your rear wheel? It's very confusing and painful to look at.

Not really. drive side 2x, nds radial.

Thanks. I'm going to put on a dark blue Cane Creek headset top cover to give the tiniest bit of bling, and will be making that final steerer tube cut as you point out is needed. Also planning to go down at least another 1/2 pound or so with different wheels/tires, and upgrading to 11 speed in the spring. One way or another, I won't keep the aftermarket rings. Just wanted to try out 52/36 for a couple of months to make sure my aging fat a** could still get up all the hills.

@ gc3- great looking Parlee. Even though the shimano crankset isn't the most appealing, the rest of the bike looks great. HOT.

mpath, Nice bike. I think it deserves a better wheelset though.

HOTTT

Great bike!
