Nice ride. That frame was on my short list. Settled on an Isaac but still think about this bike. Love the understatedness of Parlee.

Campy 11 is a revelation - it shifts so fast and the Ergopower hoods are very nicely shaped. The tall stump at the top offers one more hand position. Shifting from the drops is much improved over Shimano shifters using the same bar.
yes. the frame is very muted over road imperfections as if I'm running 20 psi less pressure but it's one of the stiffest frames I've ridden. it rides like a Look 585.
some titanium ones from the LBS. can't recall the brand.
Hard to isolate the effect of the frame vs wheelset as both as new to me however the wheels are very light and spin up similar to zipp 303 i had. freehub engagement is quick, there is no perceptible flex and the low profile rim is excellent in cross wind conditions.

Did you take these pictures in the bathtub? 
That's a pretty sweet looking bike.
Is it me, or is the crank slightly asymmetrical?
Edit: As in, the angle between the arms is not 180 degrees.

Hello MIN,
Very nice.
Why the Stronglight cranks? I assume Stronglight fixed the issue with the Pulsions.
