I wonder who has sold more frames, peg or parlee? not that this makes their geometry right or wrong, curious to know though.

As far as the parlee goes, well, I don't think unfashionably too short front center will make or break sales on something like this.

I don't know they break down on sales of 10k builds but I assume a large fraction are older folks buying something nice and not high performance geometry trend following hyper analytical science of performance "I order my stems in 1 millimeter increments like team sky" types
