Not much buzz here on the Argon 18 Nitrogen. Has anyone seen one up close?

My local shop has them and I was looking at one today. It's got some beefy tubes on it and it looks nice. The one I saw was 5800 105 and the colour scheme was clean.

Aesthetically I think the bike only works if you slam the stem due to the the aero headset cover on the frame. I imagine stem choice has a major impact on this issue but I don't know that from experience.

One of the Bora-Argon riders lives really close to me and I see him out on one from time to time.
He probably makes it look better than your average cyclist, but I always find myself staring at it a bit. It's one really nice looking ride.

Do we want to open a discussion about it's aero properties?

It would seem to be competitive with Cervelo, but I've seen almost no buzz here.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone's independently tested it yet. That graph by Argon looks reasonable except the Venge looks a bit fast and Propel a bit slow.

Most evidence I've seen so far peg the Propel as faster than the Venge and Foil, so I wouldn't trust this graphic too much.
