Re: Price of Z1 SL?: Bikefanclub.com

The Parlee Z1sl MSRP is $4,700 and includes the fork and Chris King Headset. The frame only I believe is 850 - 895 grams. They are now shipping them at 4 per week and gaining momentum. Its a beautiful bike! I am not sure if the Hampsten SL is the same frame? Parlee builds frames for them based upon their needs. On Hampsten website they do not elaborate on the SL version?

As far as the max. rider weight issue I have never heard of 150 lbs design criteria. All of their frames are made for the average weight rider and then some. As a custom frame, if because of one's weight, if needed the frame could be strengthen at critical points and this would be taken under consideration in the design stage working with the customer. Better always to ask up front and provide as much information about your riding style and body build.
