Re: [PARLEEbikes] Frame question

The way it works is that the tubes are cut and mitered and put in the jig, then the lugs are made in place and molded in place.  The end result is nothing short of revolutionary:  unlike other bikes that have sloppy glue layers between the lugs and tubes, Parlees have none.  There is no glue demarcation line on a cross section of tube/lug.  This is a major part of why Bob's bikes ride more like a fine steel bike than everyone else's dead feeling carbon bikes.

No worries. I just wanted to make sure that you knew the difference between your bike and a C-50, Cervelo, and the rest of those lug and tube gluers....
