Question for Parlee Connoisseur

[Duvivr6]

Looking at a bike on local FB Market, title says it's a Z1 but after my research I found it is not. Look like a Z4 for my untrained eye. The rear hanger was the clue.

Now this changes what I would be willing to pay if it fits.
Built with Chorus 11 which is a plus and some HED older deep wheels, not bad.

He's asking $1400, what could be a good price for this?
Caveat, I don't need another road bike it just caught my eye.

Z1 exist... they were the toppy top before the Z0. but the hanger does look Z4ish

[Hank Scorpio]

Hello. That isn’t a Z1. It is most likely a Z3. Z1 has individual seat stays. Z3 has wishbone, lugs and sloping top tube.


I should have read your post more closely. The Z2/Z3 has one piece drop outs and hangers. That is a Z4. Also the ends of the Z2/3 have a carbon wrap were the drop out plugs into the tube.

I think it’s a Z4 too.

I'd say with 99.45% accuracy that's a Z4. And that's a wonderful frame.

[elvisthehorse]

its looks like a z4.

ask for the serial number and call parlee.

[ewwhite]

It's absolutely a Z4.

[polyhistoric]

Yup - Z4. I loved mine and although I replaced it with a Z0, the ride isn't much different. I fit 25mm on 2nd gen Enve's in the back.

1400 for a complete bike is a good price. Frame and fork, $1200.
