Argon 18 Platinum w/ Rival

We just got this built a couple weeks ago:

I have to say that I have been nothing short of amazed at the ride quality of this bike.  The bike gets up and goes yet retains an amazingly compliant feel over some of the rough sections of road.  I had the chance to take it over some cobble-like bricks in our parking lot and was amazed at how classic the bike felt.  The bike has a very balanced feel.  It is nice to see a frame manufacturer put this much attention to detail into a carbon frame.  Everything from the tube junctions to paint is nothing short of exquisite.

The bike is spec'd with 2010 Sram Rival, Ritchey Comp cockpit/WCS seat post & bars, and 2010 Mavic Ksyerium Elite wheels.  The bike, all told, weighs in at a scant 15lbs. 15oz.  The bike is priced at a mere $3000.  Size medium.  Bring your shoes/pedals in and take it for a spin.
