Alexandra's Parlee Z-Zero XD

This week we're featuring Alexandra's Parlee Z-Zero XD.

Alexandra is on the Signature Cycles Women's Team and she has been killing it.  She is relatively new to the sport but has a very strong background as an accomplished rower who competed at a high level.  When she transitioned to cycling she went from CAT 1-5 in the course a year.

Alexandra has raced the Green Mountain Stage Race and is already rubbing elbows with the pros, so she wanted a gravel bike that could double as a CX race bike.  The Z-Zero XD frame is handmade in Beverly, Massachusetts and is an ultralight full carbon platform that can clear up to a 700x40 tire, the perfect tool for her goals.

We built it up with a Sram Force/Eagle X01 mullet configuration for ultimate gear range and the reliability of a 1X system that will likely never drop a chain.  The Parlee Skyridge Allroad wheelset is light, durable and serviceable with external nipples and Industry 9 Torch Classic Disc Hubs.

Alexandra is loving the bike so far.  We're very proud of her achievements and looking forward to a bright future for her.  Congratulations Alexandra!
