I had my bike in the shop for repairs/upgrades and made the "mistake" of accepting the shop owner's loan of a Z3 set to my measurements.
It was like dropping your Honda Prelude off at the shop and getting a Ferrari as a "loaner".
My bike is a older Klein Quantum that's been upgraded as parts have worn out over the years. I never thought of it as having a harsh ride until I got on the Parlee.
I've been saving up for a Klein replacement and planned to pull the trigger in two years, when the Klein will be 15 years old.
Sadly, the Z3 is out of my range but I see that they offer a Z4 that I might be able to reach. I am 5'10", 165 pounds, and tend to be "average" in all areas, never experienced any fit problems. I'm also 52 years old and ride about 150-175 miles a week, in season.
My only concern with the Z4 is a mention somewhere that it is built in Taiwan (I forget where I saw that). No offence to Taiwan, but if I am going that route, I might want to look at other options.
Thanks for listening. Any input would be appreciated.
