The bike has all the characteristics and feel of a classic bike combined with the innovation of carbon. As the previous reviewers stated, it climbs well, corners well, sprints great, but is also comfortable and compliant. The fit and finish are great, too. It feels as though the bike jumps underfoot and just wants to go. I find myself wanting to ride on days that should be rest days so I think that says it all!

I got a new Gallium rim brake model this past winter and spent the summer putting miles on it......lots of miles. I felt it was better to ride more than usually to actually get a feel for and write a review of a bike. I was coming off a high end, well known brand from here in Wisconsin, so was anxious to see what Argon18 could do for me. While I became disenchanted with my previous road bike I have to say this Argon18 Gallium knocked it out of the park!!!!!! I have NEVER felt such a solid and responsive frame and my previous weakness, descending, is a thing of past. I found this bike not only climbed exceptionally well, the descending is so solid that one knows exactly where it is headed, and fast! I have never had such a responsive and solid ride and my pals at the bike shop are similarly impressed. One even said it's like the bike disappeared underneath him, which is what I feel. I found myself taking this beauty out most every day because riding became so much fun again. Treat yourself and throw a leg over the saddle.....I venture to guess you'll experience the absolute fun and responsiveness you've not felt in a bike before. These guys have a real jewel here.....try one!

I have a gallium disc since this spring Great bike, great sensation Surr and safe Marco Italy
