This is a Parlee built, Douglas Brooks designed, via Hampsten Cycles, Tournesol Fast Day Bike. A slight slope in the top tube, a bit more drop in the bottom bracket and very slightly longer chainstays. A fast and somewhat relaxed all day bike, good for the long haul.

Yup. Haven't turned a wheel on it yet, still snow and ice on the ground. But the weather is turning and starting to get warmer.

Looks super and a great combination! Congratulations. I see you set it up with your favorite component group too.

Nice Dave. Very nice.
I like "different."
Looks like a good choice for long haul tires. What are the hubs/wheels?

The leather touches look great. The silver headset and stem go well with the bike's color. It's setup the way I like my bikes, stretched out with a moderate handlebar drop... plus a triple.

Fenders in the "hammered aluminum" appearance would look SWEET with that bike. The honey-brown saddle and handlebars offset the deep green nicely. Congratulations on a very, very nice bicycle.
