The maxed-out extendable headtube (?) on that Argon looks better than a spacer stack, but I feel like it should still be slammed.

^ I was wondering what all that was about.....
Here's the low down:
The 3D Headtube allows for three different head tube heights for a given frame size. The larger, structural spacers boost front-end stiffness

• 3D accommodates the rider’s physique and riding style.
  
• More accurate steering (frameset’s inherent qualities remain unaffected, regardless of chosen position).
  
• Better stiffness than with standard spacers: +5% at 10mm, +11% at 20mm
  
  

So there you go - a one size fits all policy to minimise tooling costs dressed up as a selling feature.

jetzt etwas ganz anders

Intentional NDS fail - I can't bear to look at those bloody awful Paul Cranks...

Who said bromance is dead?

^^^ brake lever but no brake
woowoowoo

I've seen a few bikes with extendable headtubes before, but they tend to fall in to the 'serious sportif' bike bracket, as laughable as that is. Can't fault it for being stiffer than spacers, but it's still nothing on a frame that fits properly.

HHSB COMPETITION - show me an Affinity low-pro that doesn't look like dogshit. Winner gains my respect and nothing else.

ewwwwwwwwwwww

surely track not tarck on that one^

Hot!

Spacers, stubby stem with rise, bullhorns with drop, skinny steel forks against deep section carbon.

I guess my dislike of the frames is more about the top-tube angle more than anything else though. It's much too sharp, even on smaller frames. Combine that with the relatively slack head tube angle means they look like they've been crashed in to a wall.

But spacers make the baby jesus cry.

you want steep TT angle???????

Needs risers...

^^^ WTF ??!!
More informations ?

AFAIK it was made by Casati - not sure what the point of it is....
The only purpose it serves is to make ncjlee's argos look sensible (if not comfortable)

Let me find out how much it cost, seriously considering getting that the for my g/f.

^that would amuse me - a scoble lo-pro build...... pointy uppy brooks et al.

EDIT: There was a girlfriend lo pro on here a while back....

Did anyone eventually build that crazy Argos up? Any pics?

It was bought by ncjlee - I'm sure I've seen some pics of his build somewhere - CPs perhaps
