Another all road release: parlee ouray
https://parleecycles.com/products/ouray
38mm tires for this one. I like the finish on the model on their site! Appears to be the nude carbon waxed finish they mention. Last edited by Likes2ridefar; 04-18-2024 at 10:10 AM. |

The TT slope and the stem angle juxtapose.

Parlee
This also looks nice- Has a bit less reach than comparable Fray.

So you mean that the stem and TT match? Since “not juxtapose” means they’re NOT at odds
But seriously looks nice but lack of storage / mount options seems like an oversight. Decent geo, but no pricing info. Can’t be cheap if it’s custom. |

Geometry looks pretty upright, and price is a bit steep, but it's good to see Parlee putting out something new, and I hope they have success with this.

And it’s made in EU. Eye popping price is my guess!

This one is somehow fugly but I'm not sure it's the frame/fork.
Possibly the really bad aesthetic choice of that seatpost + that stem/bar integrated combo? Maybe with a little dose of bad photography on top? The highlight on the bar tops accentuates the weirdness of those shapes. The photographer should have controlled that. They could have raised the saddle too. Even if the bike is upright you still don't want the marketing photos getting anywhere near faster backwards territory. TLDR maybe it's not so ugly in the real world. |

Lots of choice in this category at this point. I count 4 launches in 10 days. BMC, Enve, FiftyOne, and Parlee.

I’m reminded of the “ugly bike” thread. Love the naked carbon finish, though.

Was interested - then saw the geometry..
Why do bike brands think sub-400mm reach is acceptable for an XL?

Looks like 2024 is the year of the All Road bike -- road-ish geometry with longer wheelbase and 38 - 40 mm tire clearance. Unfortunately, I want a quiver, not a quiver-killer.
Nice finish though. |

The FiftyOne Sika seems the best of the bunch -- the rest are too tall and too short in the reach to be ridden seriously.. And the Sika is borderline there.

This is the new "Real Rider" geometry. Whether it fits "Fake Riders" or not, methinks a vast majority of riders (to whom the bike is targeted) will find the geometry appealing -- more stack and short reach. I do believe that Enve and Parlee and the other bunch have done their homework here.
