I read those posts again and I get the impression that the bike owner tried it on his own with no involvement from Parlee.

I watched all the reviews online and build docs and ended up with Orca instead: able to to move handlebar up and down in bigger range plus more convenient, 31.8 handlebar won it for me.

Parlee now makes a spacer specifically to use with the Pro Vibe Evo. $22 at their officially shop, and you can probably get it through their dealers as well: https://store.parleecycles.com/products ... evo-spacer

Chuffed on these pro vibe bars. If you wrap the top it can be pretty bulky for better or worse tho.
Size is 40 x 105. Had to add almost 15mm of spacers to replicate OE bar stack. Getting the kedge mount to work was a Pita. Bolt spacing is only 17.5 mm. Had to drill a new hole. Getting the hoods high up can be difficult bc of how the hose port sticks out and how the bars are angled.

couldn't really find a frame that checked all the boxes for a parlee replacement, so i just rebuilt the RZ7 with DA12, lighter wheels, and the pro vibe evo integrated bar from prior post. dropped weight from 8.0xkg to 7.6x kg. was hoping for a little bit under 7.6 but o well. less bar tape, lighter cpu mount, lighter saddle are really the only options left. went from 64mm reynolds on i9 hubs (the black label aero wheels) to dt swiss arc 1100 50mm on 180 hubs. swapped miche rotors for galfer rotors. miche rotors work better but are ~28-30g heavier each

Saw theres a service bulletin in the most recent manual saying not to insert your seatpost more than 150mm (less for smaller frames) as it can damage the seatstay junction. I was at 170 depth on a large for a LONG time. Oops..

Negative 6 and Close to 38-40 I think. It's not 50 bc the stem cuts down under the top cover. Spacers are 5 10 and 20. Should come with plenty not sure max height tho. They give you 10mm of slack under that cover iirc where you use split spacers and can still raise if needed.
Email them for seatpost height. They have good support.

New colors and builds for 2024: https://parleecycles.com/products/rz7
They are only offering SRAM builds now, and have also shifted to Zipp wheels from Enve. Interestingly, the Red and Force builds come with the PRO Vibe Evo one-piece as the stock option. Hopefully you'll be able to specify the size when ordering, like you could for the in-house bar and stem.

looks good. big fan of the pro vibe bar now. etap makes the bike a little easier to build. who knows how their credit shook out with shimano during the restructure. it IS weird you get that shimano bar tho with all the sram lol.
