Argon 18 E-114 owners Can't Post
I'm considering purchasing a 2008 model E-114 after test riding it yesterday. I rode the SRAM Red version with Zipp 808 / 404 and it felt fabulous.

I thought it was awesome. Very comfortable and fitted like a glove :) The Argon 18 guys were also super helpful and super professional.

I have a couple of questions for owners:

Have you used the new Hed C2 90 rear wheel in the E-114 ? This will be my choice of wheel when I buy so I want to be sure that it'll fit !

Are you happy with your purchase, or is there anything that you would change ? I liked the bayonet and the bar / fork integration. I preferred this to the Felt version that I also test rode that I wasn't impressed with.

Has anyone owned an E-114 and a Cervelo P3 and can offer any comparison (weight?) ? The P3 would be my 2nd choice of purchase.

Thanks for any opinions.

I don't have the specific bike you speak of, but I've heard there have been some fit issues withe C2 90's [which you probably already know]. You may want to shoot HED an email or phone call and ask them. I've also heard they have a 'skinny' model available for the rear. That may be worth a look.

Regular Jet 90 C2 won't fit in the rear of and E-112 (and I'm pretty sure that E-114 frame come from the same mold) Call Hed and inquire about a 'skinny' C2 and you should be fine.

Thx.

Looks like the P3 then.
