Argon18 is perhaps the biggest news in triathlon at the moment. Known as the 'other' Canadian bike firm, no one really expected a bike from them right now, but their timing couldn't be better. The E119 is the only major tri bike being released in 2015 (other than the LOOK 796 Monoblade). We got a good, detailed look at the bike in Las Vegas, and here are our initial thoughts on the bike. Argon18 has put together an excellent platform that is sure to be very popular in the coming season. See the article for more information on the Argon18 E119 tri bike.

Brakes 
Here's an area near and dear to my heart. I'm very, very happy to see Argon18 abandon the TRP V-brake in favor of the far superior centerpull design. So far Felt, Trek, and now Argon18 have all developed their own excellent centerpull designs. I love this trend, even if it means I'll sell fewer brakes.
