Well, they may have some kind of idea from selling slightly more bikes than you have about what people want in different sizes?

Difference being though that Pegoretti frames have level TTs, so they don't look like aesthetic abominations with a -12 or -17 stem..
Plus Pegoretti stock geometry is based on a premise that you'll run a long(ish) stem and need/like long(ish) setback - which isn't really how most/any newer allroad bikes are being designed.

OR - they can get a custom carbon frameset from Pursuit, Hampsten/Eyewater, etc. OR - look for some specific models like the BMC Kaius or Basso Palta, which are ostensibly gravel bikes but have geometry more suited to performance allroad riding than these "allroad" bikes. I'll stop my baseless ranting now.. lolz.

I like how you think. Making a quiver killer into a n+1.

Two riders of different proportions can have the same torso angle when you set them up in their ideal saddle position with very different frame geometry and reach/stack. One of them will have the bars closer to them and higher. You look at the two bikes and you think one of the riders must be in a more relaxed position. But once you put the two different riders on the bikes you see they just require a different bike to get a similar fit. The market right now markets race bikes that fit you and endurance/all road that fit the other end of the proportion spectrum. It's just another level of them not making enough sizes.

Frame design looks very much like the Giant Revolt.

Parlee makes a nice bike. I have had a few Chebaccos and others over the years. I don't hate the look of integrated cockpits, but much prefer access to the cables if need be and while building up bikes.

It feels like I'm in the minority of new bike buyers but I'd prefer to keep the cables outside the stem and headset also. Is there any technical reason a manufacturer couldn't give you the option of buying a frameset with one more hole in the fork and down tube?
I've been looking for a modern bike with easy cable routing and slightly relaxed geometry that can take 32s with fenders but haven't had much luck. Last edited by LGrider; 04-18-2024 at 07:17 PM. |

it's an easier layup not to have holes for one. The bike is not for me as the stack is not to my liking, but otherwise it looks very nice. Handmade in the EU, wax nude finish like my Zero.. pretty nice. |

For custom carbon, like the Parlee supposedly is, it might be possible for an upcharge. Caledonia and Synapse seems pretty close to matching those criteria. Or the previous gen Endurace and Domane work as well. The Roubaix is close, and there are some people who just replace the futureshock with a solid piece to get rid of that extra complexity. |

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

I should have said some of that too - it's not for me, but it's a beautiful bike and I love Parlee's whole thing, so I wish them success with it..
