reviews?

anyone know anything about these canadian bikes? i'm looking at a Radon T3 as the basis for a race frame.

it's aluminum with carbon set stays and fork. it's also cheap enough to be considered a throw away if i crash hard enough. the brand seems popular with the tri-set.

My favourite LBS almost exclusively dealt with Argons for the first few years. He still carries them, but has branched out a bit (Orbea and LeMond mostly); however, he still sells a lot of Argons. So, there are a ton here locally and everyone I know just loves them. Haven't heard a bad thing. Wish I could give you a personal testimonial.

FWIW though I'd go one up to the Krypton, one of the cheapest carbon bikes going.

i'm asking about the argon 19 radon specifically because there one available to me at a great price. it was built up but never used, and it comes with a fizik arione seat, deda stem and cinelli bar. i think at the price he's asking, i might take a leap of faith and buy it.

glad to hear that everyone you know that has one is pleased. they aren't popular here and i've only ever seen one.

300 for a radon with seat, stem and bars is a pretty good deal IMHO, no?
