Argon 18 E119 Frameset - Custom Carbon Aero Triathlon Superbike Platform The E119 Frameset is the foundation for a custom Argon 18 triathlon superbike. It is the right choice for riders, fitters, mechanics, and performance-focused athletes who want the E119 frame platform but prefer to select their own drivetrain, wheels, saddle, hydration system, and finishing details. Why buy this E119 model? You want to build the E119 around your own component choices. You already own race wheels or drivetrain parts you want to reuse. You have a specific fit, cockpit, power meter, gearing, or hydration plan. You want the same E119 aero frame platform as the complete bikes without buying a complete build. You work with a fitter or shop to create a personalized long-course triathlon setup. Best-fit customer Buy the frameset if you want control. It is the best option for a custom build where fit, gearing, wheels, cockpit details, and component preference matter more than buying a preconfigured complete bike. Shared E119 platform advantages Integrated aero platform: the E119 is built around a clean front end, hidden routing, integrated cockpit, integrated brakes, and race-focused tube shaping. Race-day storage: the Storage Optimization System, integrated deep bento, and hidden toolkit help keep nutrition, tools, and repair essentials organized without compromising the superbike look. Triathlon fit adjustability: adjustable armpad stack and reach help riders dial in an aero position for sprint, Olympic, 70.3, full-distance triathlon, or time trial racing. Disc brake control: the Argon 18 Integrated Brake System pairs clean aero integration with the consistency riders expect from modern disc-brake triathlon bikes. Premium cockpit contact points: 51 Speedshop Custom Extensions are shaped to hug the arms for aero positioning and use a 30-degree grip angle to support neutral wrist orientation.
