American bicycle company Argonaut Cycles has made a bold promise in its attempt to “re-define custom,” but that is what the Portland, Oregon based company is looking to do with its new carbon fiber road frame business.
Company owner Ben Farver apparently has taken what he’s known about making steel tube-to-tube frames and is using that knowledge with carbon fiber. The frames are made using bladder molded frame sections produced in the United States and which are then assembled by Ben in his shop. The result is that both stock and custom bike are available, and while these aren’t cheap the quality is there.
