Description
Country/Region of Manufacture: Canada Model: E-114
Brand: Argon 18 Size: Large


     The e-114 is known for its stability and comfort. Featuring the ONEness concept and AHB 5000 integrated handlebar, the E-114 offers a wide positioning adjustment range for a sound ergonomic union of rider and bike.  Properly positioned on a stable bike, you’ll be more aerodynamic and faster, because in truth, the main source of aerodynamic drag is the rider, much more than any part of the bike.  The E-114 is fully compliant with UCI regulations governing the dimensions and technical characteristics of time-trial bikes.      A unique, adapted geometry, with razor-sharp steering and unparalleled stability, even in situations where it is impossible to stay on the tribar extensions with other bikes. Every dimensional aspect has been defined in order to maximize bike control, even at extreme levels of exertion.      A longer wheelbase increases stability, but where the extra length is situated is important for balanced performance. 400mm chainstays ensure proper chainline alignment, for faultless, dependable shifting.      From the fork to the seat stays, every aspect of the E-114 is shaped to favor smooth airflow and reduce drag. At 40 kph, this translates to a 12% drag reduction in a headwind and an average reduction of 18% in crosswinds, compared to the E-80, twice ridden to World Triathlon Championships.     This auction includes the straight extensions and the "s" bend extensions. I also have an extra seat mast which has never been used or cut down to size. You may have your choice between the Cobb saddle as pictured, or a San Marco Tri-Aspide. The drivetrain is all Campagnolo Record 10spd and I put a Simkins egg beater brake on the rear which is lighter, more aero and has better braking power than the original Tektro. I believe I still have that brake in a box and will include it if I can find it. But here's what makes this deal GREAT!!!You get the Zipp 808 wheelset and the Zipp disc wheel for racing (all tubular) and the Mavic Cosmic Elite wheelset for training plus three cassettes, 11-23, 12-25 and 13-26.All this retailed for close to $10,000 in 2010 but can be yours for a fraction of the price. Good Luck!
