The Argon 18 Gallium Pro was handed to me, a medium, built with an 11 speed Super Record grupo, Prologo Nago Evo Nack Saddle, Fulcrum Racing Zero wheelset and a 3T Ergonova finishing kit, just pipping scales at about the 6.75kg marker.

The Argon 18 Gallium Pro is offered as a frameset only, with Argon 18 ASP-6500 carbon seatpost and headset included, at the price of £1999.99 in on-trend every-other-bike-on-the-road stealthy matt black (or is ‘on-trend’ all about the fluoro’s these days?). Full build price like this is nudging just over £5k.
