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

Michael has been a client of Signature for years now, and he's one of the nicest guys we know.  He's been riding this Parlee Z-Zero since 2017 and putting it through its paces for sure.  After using it for a gravel bike, the paint took a beating and was in need of a fresh coat.

This is one of the first bikes to be painted at Parlee's new paint lab.  When choosing the color, Michael showed them a picture of a classic Raleigh frame painted in a steel blue color.  They got back to him with this custom color which is very cool in that it changes tonal color in different light.  With this repaint he wanted to play with the Parlee logo so he and Mark came up with this graphic repeat.

Michael describes the ride quality as an elegant thoroughbred; smooth and quick reacting and loves to climb. He recently upgraded the bike with a Ceramicspeed bottom bracket and OSPW with anodized blue pulley wheels.

We wish Michael many more years of happy riding on this beautiful machine.

Congratulations Michael!
