One of the most ignored regular maintenance items on a bike is the chain. Oh, we all know the chain needs to be lubricated regularly. That is not what I am talking about. What I mean is the regular replacement of the chain. The chain is comprised of literally hundreds of metal pieces that are…

We originally started representing Parlee as Bob Parlee produced bikes offering an industry-leading combination that balances size appropriate lateral stiffness (for excellent power transfer and quick reactions), superior comfort, manufacturing excellence, and light weight.
