Argon 18 E-80

pickled

New TT build.
Had fun trying to put it all together.
New frame, but the rest is mainly second hand parts sourced from here and e-bay.
Cranks were new but ridiculously cheap from Evans.

I was previously TT'ing on the road bike with aero bars and this has already knocked 5 and half minutes off my 25 m PB
Hopefully dip under the hour soon!

A black Argon - ! you see so many in white with red I was beginning to think it was the only colourway. Very nice. These bikes seem to have a high build quality.

can I ask, how much was the frame ? Where from? Did you get it with the TT bars?

I got it in a sale at Sigma sport, but I don't think they have any left?
They've got the E-112 for a cracking price though, and I was tempted.
In the end I went for the E-80 because it came with brakes and levers the price was just too good to pass on.
Bike cost less than a grand all in.

I'm sorry, was that a typo? :shock:

Nope! I already had the wheels, seat and extensions.
Everything else except cranks sourced off flea bay and here.
Got the frame in a sale. It certainly wasn't 810 quid!

Nice build! I did the identical project a year ago and got the white frame for £599. Managed to build it up with Ultegra/Dura Ace and Cosmic Carbones by sourcing from fleabay/bike radar for £1300. Great bike for the money!
