    is anyone riding a Gallium ? I was going to buy a Canyon Ultimate CF SLX frameset this month but someone said the Argon 18 are great frames. I'm just looking for some feedback before I buy :-)

    I have an Argon 18 bike, TT one though. Can't fault it, never had any problems with it and even though it's few years old and I've changed road bikes a few times I've no desire to change the TT bike.

    A big plus for me is if your buying it thru base2race. Great service from the lads in the shop and if anything does go wrong or you have any questions or need help after buying it they will look after you. They used to include a bike fit in with the price of the bike but not sure anymore. (I've no connection with base2race, just a happy customer).

    They look great and were great value when I was considering buying one a few years ago.

    I am the proud new owner of a 2012 Gallium Pro, just wish I'd the fitness and legs to justify it! delighted with it though.

    Very smooth, proper stiff and most definitely a racing frame it's quite quick. Longer top tube than any bike I'd previously ridden so my back is just getting used to it.

    bike was built up over Xmas, frame bought second hand, thanks to the lad who sold it on from Cork.

    Lovely bike... I'm stuck between the Gallium and a Canyon. Whats the comfort like over distance?

    to be honest i'm not after getting out past 2 hours and I wouldn't judge its comfort on that given that it was my first spin in 3 months. I've also an all carbon saddle on so you can feel everything.

    it pedals sweetly, it takes the bumps though without going through you but it's sleek and stiff enough to make it possibly a little uncomfortable for the leisure cyclist.

    Spotted this earlier and looks like a good price if interested in an Argon 18
