The Parlee Ready-to-Ride Build Program
As a premier Parlee retailer, we can ship select models to your door - fully assembled, tuned, checked, and ready to ride. When you place an order with us, your Parlee frame and its respective components fly from the brand's headquarters in MA to our store in Tempe, AZ, where we assemble, inspect for quality, and fine-tune to your unique specifications. Typical turnaround time depends on where in the USA you're located, shipping times, and the general who-ha that sometimes causes delays in building custom bikes. Usually, we anticipate a new bike at your door in less than 3-weeks. But if you're planning a trip or have a hard deadline, send us a note, and we'll do our best to get it to you ASAP!
THE FINER DETAILS
WHERE THE PAVEMENT ENDS
The Taos isn’t a road bike with wide tires. A long reach and a slack head angle keep it stable at speed, and a lower bottom bracket and shorter chainstays keep it planted through corners and descents. BikeRadar named it its 2025 Gravel Bike of the Year.
ROOM FOR MORE
There’s clearance for 50 mm tires with a 1x drivetrain, and 45 mm with a 2x. The geometry is suspension-corrected, so a suspension fork goes on without changing the ride. Storage inside the down tube keeps your essentials on the bike, alongside fender mounts, top tube bag mounts and routing for a dropper post.
NOTHING TO COVER UP
Each Taos frame is made by hand in Portugal, with every ply of carbon placed so there’s no filler, cosmetic layer or bonding agent to cover up. All six sizes get their own layup and geometry, so the smallest rides like the largest. Your bike is then assembled in the US, to your fit.
