Hello Folks,

First post for me on here so go easy!! :D

I'm in the market for a new bike and looking at an aero frame. I've already got a Cannonade Super Six with Dura Ace and Rotor components and will use that on the hillier rides but fancy an Aero bike for the flatter stuff.

I'm mainly interested in the Argon 18 Nitrogen or the Canyon Aeroad CF. The Canyon gets a great write up wherever I look but it'd been difficult to find much info on the Argon 18 Nitrogen!

So I was wondering if anyone on here has an Argon 18 Nitrogen, or any of their other models, with regard to the build quality and ride.

Cheers!!!! :lol:

    Argon 18 makes some fantastic bikes. You won't be disappointed with either, but the Nitrogen does a lot more for me in the looks department. I'm hoping to pick up an Electron Pro at some point so I can join the ranks...

    Yeah they are nice looking bikes, but I'm finding it quite difficult to get any reviews, however I've not heard anything negative about them, so quite keen!!

    Nice looking track bike that, enjoy!!!

    Ha ha!!! you're in the wrong place for riding on the flat man, I came through your village today on my way up to Aravis!! lovely day for it!!!

    I usually head down the valley, for a "flatter ride" through Sallanches, down to Bonneville and beyond!! Try a tour de mole, that a good ride! about 90k if you drive to Sallanches and park up there.
