The latest premium build to roll out of the shop! A Parlee Ouray fitted with Force 2x drivetrain, Deda Alanera barstem, and CADEX 42 wheels! This rider needed the fit geometry of the Ouray, but didn’t necessarily want or need the wide wheel/big tire combo you’ll often see these bikes built with. The CADEX wheel choice will keep this bike light and fast while achieving the fit needs of the rider! Parlee Cycles CADEX Cycling Deda Elementi
