Parlee Chebacco

So I finally decided to go Gravel. I already have a Parlee Z5 and have meet the man behind the company and it's pretty cool meeting the person behind the brand. I'm loyal to the LBS I deal with and I wanted a pretty decent bike and after months of saving and working OT I was finally able to pick up my new bike. It's been a blast so far and in three rides I've got just over 200km on gravel and road. It's actually pretty good on the road but it shines on the gravel. It's so cool bombing down those sections that you either skipped or just crawled on with the road bike. I can see a lot of gravel in my future. I'd post a picture but can't figure it out, I use to be able too but it's been awhile

Wow the geo on that bike looks perfect on paper. What's up with the bulbous headtube/top tube junction?

IIRC, that bike was also the donor for the Gravel Cyclist test of the Lauf Grit fork.
