    I think their bikes are pretty damn cool looking in a techno, modern, cervelo, GT sorta way.

    They look damn good being pushed by some pro legs. Then again, all bikes do.

    I would ride one.

    I ride an Argon 18 Electron frame on teh track. I'm happy. It's far stiffer and sleeker than I deserve. I was about to say that I wish it had a bridge on the seat stay and a different post clamp, but I see the new Electron frame has those features.

    rioux was a great rider
    people like the bikes from what i hear.
    i think you will have success with the brand jt.

    there is a good story to go with these bikes.
    street cred is a strong positive.

    very well respected for sure.

    With Steve Bauer as Directeur Sportif of Team Planet Energy,
    I believe the plan is to get to a pro tour level over the next few years.

    breed apart. the van den eyndes. bernier. rioux. lovell. perigny. garneau.

    over the east coast atmo.

    One of my favorite bikes ever was an Argon 18 Columbus SP bike. I believe Gervais was working at Marinoni at the time (early 90's) and had the bikes built and painted there.
