Worth lookig at before buying the old 2012-2014 version.
I was looking at replacing my front fork on my 2012 E-118 due to crashes, but they don't have any with the correct paint any longer ... so I'm going toward a more permanent solution with a local carbon repair shop.
With that said ... talking with the Argon 18 rep, it sounds the the front fork is getting a full face lift, but the main frame will basically be the same. I'm guessing a different stem that is replaceable, new base bar and maybe different brake location or design.
The rep also stated he didn't think the new fork would work with older model E-118's ... which kinda sucks as it would be a way to improve on an otherwise great bike.
