They are Shamal clinchers. If I switched to Super Record, I could probably drop some more weight - there's a mixture of Super Record, Record, Athena and SRAM (brakes). I have a Eriksen titanium road that weighs about the same at 15.0 lbs but is kitted out in all Super Record.
I have owned several CF bikes since they first started coming out (e.g. Giant Cadex, Trek Madone) and like the Parlee the most. Stiff enough for quick acceleration yet more lively feeling than many others - just the right amount of flex in the right places. It's subjective but I have owned many, many high-end bikes and my bike lust stopped at Parlee and Eriksen.
