OK my current bike has a 55 cm top tube and a 55 cm stack and 42.8 reach. Size large in a E-112? Also does anyone know if the top tube length given by Argon 18 is in the 76 or 78 degree position?
Thanks!

Juanmoretime,
Well, there are more things you need to know. You’re essentially fitting yourself to the large based on your current frame, so you need to also know from your current bike:
- what stem length (and angle) is on it
- what aerobars are on it and their pad height from the bar + pad distance from bar (for and aft)
- Does your current bike have an integrated hs or external
Being that its early this morning and I’ve only had one cup of joe, I “think” that’s it off the top of my head.
Basically, if you currently have the same stem, aerobars and headset as the Argon 18 E-112, then, yes, a large would be perfect and you would add 14mm of spacers.
It’s early…and I don’t know why I was lurking. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I guess I forgot some information. Current head tube with headset is 172.4mm and a 10 mm spacer. -17 stem. I do plan to just transfer over my cuurent components to the frame so no difference in any component set up.
I sent you a PM, but my old bike was a 55 cm Kestrel Talon and I have room to spare on a medium Argon18.
Hey Juan, I remember you are looking to upgrade aerodynamically beyond your Lynskey. If that is the case, I would encourage you to look at the Trek TTX in a large. Same reach as what you have and a little bit higher stack, so you could get rid of the spacer on your current bike. If you ever wanted to go lower, you could get a lower stack aerobar(going off memory you had Syntaces)
There has been a lot of speculation that Argon’s bikes may not be as aerodynamically designed as a lot of the other current options out there.
