Another stunning example of creativity. Parlee is sublime. A Lexus. Nice job JOM.

The frames shape with the sloped top tube and long seat post reminds me of a hardtail MTB. Looking dorward to your full review.

Beautiful looking bike, looks very slack!

I would like to see more steel gravel bikes please

[jasonwright]

I think i read that it's made in...Portugal, which is an unusual place for bicycle frame manufacturing.

Is it a long tt and short stem geo?


I would really like direct mounts on the underside of the top tube to become a standard feature in the industry. I dislike frame bag straps around the tt. Also triple fork mounts please.

Not sold on that post diameter. Young's modulous e makes that stiffer and less compliant than 27.2mm.

I like the look of the Taos. A very purposeful shape and form.

Im into ANYTHING Parlee. This bike does remind me of that Evil bike. Cant remember the name? Anyone?

[galenkehler]

I will never buy a bike with a sloping top tube like that again. My current gravel bike has it and its so uncomfortable to try and sit on.
