Argon 18 E-114/E-112

I fell in love with the looks of these bikes. I was up till 4 am looking at them online.

I am thinking about selling my p3 for the E-114. Any thoughts? Anyone out there have experience with these bikes?

How is the sizing. I was looking at Dan’s stack and reach table, and it appears the size medium is equivalent to a 54 p3. If anyone out there has some info on them, please let me know…

email torbjorn and pick his brain

Already did, he must have been out training.

that bastard!

I know! what the heck right!?

I test rode the E-114 size small last year for an hour or so. It fitted like a glove and I loved it. I ride a 54 road bike and my TT bike has 530mm top tube and I use a steep seat angle.

I didn’t make a purchase but I’m considering doing so later this season. Would be a choice between the P3C, P4 or E-114.

Interested to hear what everyone else thinks - especially comments I’ve read in the past with the E-114 being a little heavier than the competition?

Any thoughts?

Sure…how do those framesets “stack up” aerodynamically to your P3? It wouldn’t make much sense to trade off speed for “looks” or “bike lust”, now would it?

I don’t think that going from my p3 to an e-114 would be a downgrade. I average about 20-21 mph over an IM distance. A 30-40 second difference maybe?

Lets face it, for most of us this sport is a hobby. Having a bitchen bike is fun, right?

the slower you bike

the more time you save from aerodynamic improvements

Jackmott, want to buy my p3? :slight_smile:

The E-114 has been tested in the windtunnel both with and without Torbjørn Sindballe.

I can’t remember the numbers and I don’t understand them either!!! But apparently they were very good!

well I don’t bike fast, so I do need such fancy nonsense. Plus it will make me sleep better at night.

well keep the p3c then!

paint it like an argon or something

The p3c is sooo plain, I like the bike a lot! BUT, I fell in love last night Jack!!!

Don’t you get it, I was woo’ed by online photos of the Argon. There is no going back now.
