Look what's sitting in my office….

Half a mouldy biscuit to the first correct Identification…

Hmmmmmmmmmmm now what could that be?

Nicolai Argon

I'll tell you what that is. Stress raiser hell is what that is. Must be some american shite.

It's some kind of Victorian machine for inducing premature labour I think.

Its a bicycle frame. Do I win?

Close CFH, but not quite cigar worthy….

look at that rear spacing 🙂

A Nicolai Argon Road

Mine's an Upmann, thanks.

Nicolai Argon Road. I presume you've already lost your bottom cherry? Otherwise you're about to – something tells me that won't be too forgiving… 😀

Knickers just seen it ARGON I've got an Argon

Road Oooooh 😐

Oh dear god, I thought my chameleon was "direct", stays like might make the power transfer that muchmore efficient, but I don't think the word "comfortable" will be applicable without a negative…

That looks awful.

I think its fair to say that a carbon or Ti seatpost is going to be fairly important… 😯

Though mines a custom Argon S/S I'll tell you those rears aren't that bad. Argon road though! that's commitment.

That looks **** cool.

A road bike in name only, that's shocking and gopping in equal measures.

100% of ace! More pics please?

More pics +1

I just looked at the website and am even more jealous 🙁

[Quote]that's shocking and gopping in equal measures. [/Quote]

Some people have no taste 😉

Just one thing though.
An Argon, custom specs and paint, and you went for…….grey.

The Nicolai website has just made me come over all peculiar. 😳 😆

Seems to be a true 'marmite' bike!

Grey? – Black Ano

Nicolai ownership feels special. And I think mines the only singlespeed specced one in the UK, they're a cool bunch.

"Grey? – Black Ano"

For those watching in black & white.

Did gloss pink not take youre fancy then?

Omgiwantoneinglosspink.

😀

That welding is beautiful. No wonder they don't grind it down.

Whats going on with those drop-outs?
Looks like it can be swapped for sliding but non drive side it vertical. 😕

I'd recommend some silicone spray to keep it clean. I use stuff the printers use it's very light. You might find the finish appears to stain but I found Muc-off applied with a brush keeps it like new, then a light coating of this spray keeps it clean for ages.

It's some kind of Victorian machine for inducing premature labour I think.

😆

The dropout is to allow perfect wheel alignment (apparently)

What kit are you putting on it?

The dropout is to allow perfect wheel alignment (apparently)

surely if you need to adjust a drop out to align a wheel then your rear triangle is mangled – and even then once youve compensated for the rear triangle being out, the centre line would still be out? No?

I only read it somwhere 🙁 i dont know the answers to such demanding questions.

😀

I don't think you'll get any weld fatigue cracks on that! Sort of standard of welding I can relate to http://www.peterflynnclassiccars.com. Nice workmanship but it looks like a harsh ride to me…

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh……… that is my absolute dream bike. What are you going to build it with? Make sure you post pics when its done.

carbon I-beam post and SDG ST Bel Air. makes my Chameleon feel like a sofa.

….that's not a road bike……its a frankenstein m/c, the word elegant does not come to mind.

but the welding is amazing 🙂

Ano Black – Great choice 😀
