Argon 18 are a highly respected brand from Canada.
Often thought as a poor mans’ Cervelo (the ‘other’ Canadian brand) that statement is very far from the truth as they were the preferred choice of bike for the Astana Pro Peleton Race Team. On top of this they are one of the most popular choices on the TT circuit as well as triathlon. They have achieved huge success on the Ironman circuit and have proven to be one of the best brands for their all round ability.
This TT bikes, in particular, is extremely popular and are regarded as one of the better models around for its lightweight frame and forks.
This model, is their E112 TT bike – the predecessor to the latest E117 – E119.
Available as a frame only bike we have custom built this bike with a very good spec to compliment the excellent frame.
Using running gear completely from SRAM no corners have been cut to build this bike.
Supplied with an almost full SRAM Force groupset the bike has been complimented with a fabulous pair of HED Singer wheels (with Novatec hubs) fitted with Michelin Pro 3 race tyres. These wheels are very fast and are often regarded as one of the best all round fast performing wheels on the market. They have received many good reviews and are the perfect wheel combination for this bike.
They are excellent on the flat with exhilarating speed but also very capable at climbing, thus matching the style of the bike.
By using a SRAM Force’s very light groupset it compliments the bikes light frame thus making the bike one of the lightest bikes on the market and with the added bonus of the carbon wheels makes this a very agile bike too.
The components are made up from 3T and feature a pair of aero bars as well as a matching stem. The bike is finished off with high-end Widget bar tape.
We have given this bike a full custom build and used a combination of new and lightly used parts to complete the overall package.
The build has been lovingly completed by our in-house Cytech 3 mechanic and as such features brand new cables, inners and outers throughout. It has been fitted with a brand new bottom bracket, and replacement chain and cassette and (as mentioned previously ) new bar tape.
It has a super colour scheme that gives it huge kerb appeal and would make any new owner very happy. Because it’s custom built, it makes the bike that much more unusual and thus a much better proposition to buy than a new bike.
