Argon 18 Mercury: Anyone try one?

Any of you guys ever see or own an Argon 18 Mercury? The unique carbon rear triangle construction is interesting. I notice their website does not publish accurate seat tube dimensions. Any experiences out there?

They're another small Canadian company. I saw one at the Toronto International Bike Show last March. Very nice looking bike but of course I didn't get a chance to ride it. Description can be found here http://www.veloargon18.com/eng/velo_mercury.htm

Thanks cerveloguy. I have never seen one in person but a couple things about the Mercury in particular seems fascinating. I'll be lookg for them at the Interbike trade show on Oct. 10.

Does anyone know the prices of these bikes? In particular the Plutonium or Krypton.

Any are the bikes of good quality?

I haven't seen one other than the picture in my latest Triathlete mag...But, I've got to admit, I'd be tempted to try it just based on looks alone...It almost rivals my snazzy Felt S22...
