Andrew's Z5SL

Andrew had a Z4 previously, and this year moved up to a lovely new Z5SL
Most of the build came off the old bike, and why not given its quality; 3T carbon cockpit, Enve Wheels and DA gruppo

Flooring with a PRO twist

We are currently building the Performance Lab, which will eventually host bike fitting, biomechanical correction, a physio and metabolic assessments.
To keep the cycling theme we went with Quick Step flooring. How says advertising does not work !

Parlee Z1 custom Tourer

This is a very special bike indeed. Its a present from a husband to his wife, and the design brief was a touring bike that would be a delight to ride and also have the ability to take some light loads when they were riding in the Pyrenees.

The frame is a Z1 custom tourer and has the Kandy red tint to the carbon clearcoat. The graphics are a new font to us, and hand-painted cream decals. The gruppo is an Ultegra triple with a TA crankset (to help with those mountains!).
Matt hand-built some wheels around a SON dynamo front and rear. The wiring for the dynamo is incredibly neat - Matt bought some different coloured heat shrink so he could attach it to other cables to minimise any clutter. The saddle is a cream colour, so we had to find a way to get bar tape to match. Our solution was to get our favourite white Arundel tape and then leave it in a coloured brown dye. It took a couple of rolls of tape to get the time we left it there right (so yes we do have some dark brown bar tape if anyone wants it!).

Gerald picked this up from us last year but I realized we never took a picture of it all built up. So here it is in all its glory!
