Hi I have at long last decided that I nee dto uprade my frame and forks in line wit the rest of the bike as it is now. I have £1k to spend on Frame and forks.
Currently the top runner is the ARGON 18 Krypton - Looks and feels very nice..... but am I missing anything?
Road bike semi relaxed/racing goemetry..
I keep thinking about The look one you can get aorund that price point....
What do you guys think?

The argon 18 krypton is a very very good frame and not a lot of people have them as opposed to Treks. I'm not saying Treks are bad cause they're clearly not, its just a preference for me.
I'm sure that Trek do a replacement for the frame if it breaks... might be wrong.
I'm currently saving for the Argon 18 E114, TT bike cause I think its the dog bollocks. Can I do it justice? No.
I got the Krytpon back in Aug and I done my second OD on it, over a hillish course and was 10mins quicker on it compared to a flatish standard on my old Claud Butler.
personally, and I'm baised - Argon 18.

She cost me £1500. Got the frame and had to go for Fulcrum 5 wheels, shimano 105, bontrager carbon seat post and bontrager seat. Massi headset etc.
I already had the Zipp tri bars, look pedal. Mike fitted me up for the bike. Its pure magic.
Bridgetown is a place where some of us go for bikes.
The argon I have was a shit load quicker over 25miles than my old hum dinger. as I said, I'm biased but I sure do like my bike.
Btw,the pic was taken in Cannock, in the crapest hotel I've stayed in. It was bloody minging, talk about seedy!!
