Oh, I will leave y'all with some thoughts from Kareem himself after his first week of rides:
"In one word, the ride quality of the bike is exceptional! I've actually never ridden anything like it...Bikes I've ridden are either super stiff (the S5 is like riding a 2x4), or feel like over-weight noodles. This is thing is so smooth, yet incredibly responsive. I think Parlee may have perfected a great balance between vertical compliance and bottom-end stiffness. Couple that with a SUPER light frame, and you most certainly have a winner! Other than my REDACTED rides, I doubt my Cervelos will see much road time."
