Everyone, new bike... new bike, everyone!

And before the bear says something, I know that unfortunately it is NOT black (as we all know, the fastest color) but at least it is NOT red!    I got a great deal that I couldn't refuse. This is my training setup. As we get closer to Timberman I'll post a pic with aero-wheels

Cool looking bike. What's that black thing that looks like it's attached to the rear tube (the one with the seat post on)? Is that a pump?

I have a Power Tap (power meter) and it is located on the hub of the back wheel. The yellow circle you barely can see on pic no 4. The transmitter sends the watts and speed readings to the computer (the yellow thing you see on pic no. 1 and 2)

Mmmmmm... Argon. Yum.

There's one of those sitting in my LBS window right now. I drool over it every time I go past there. My son (9 yrs old) was so enamoured with it that he asked if they make it in his size

Congrats!

i'm looking for my first tri bike after using a road bike for the last 2 years (3 seasons). argon is probably out of my price range though!

When I was looking I was in the 2200.00 - 2400.00 price range so I was considering the QR Tequilo because in my opinion that one and the Cervelo are the best bang for your buck and maybe Felt (But I don't like Cervelos ) Anyway, I did some search on the web I found a LBS selling this Argon frame VERY cheap. To give you an idea I ended up with the Argon with full Ultegra, carbon FSA cranks, fizik tri seat, etc. for a bit less than the QR tequilo market price

I always hear of "power tap" but never seen one. Do you race with that contraption on or it's used just for training?

I've never seen on in the races I've done but then again, i'm so slow they might have just wizzed right by me and I didn't notice.

Like you need any help getting faster.  What are you trying to do...break the sound barrier?  LOL  Nice bike Jorge, you can tell I am drooling here, just thinking about it.  Remember, you can't let some old geezer pass you now!

Hahaha...9 year old kids lusting after $4,000 bikes.  When I was 9, I was trying to fix up an old piece of junk that I found in the dump!

Well since my bike is fast BLACK and yours is slow YELLOW, maybe I can keep up with you at T-Man now.

Seriously, though, nice looking ride.  Hope she treats you well.
