Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm pricing Argon Krypton's and found an extremely cheap price. Seems fishy to me, but I really don't know much about the details of building a bike and whatnot. I just want to ride one!

This one seems too cheap: https://kamkerina.com/products/Argon-...Frameset-.html

Then a more standard price I've found: https://www.racycles.com/product.aspx?catid=2,701,704

They look to be the same thing, but I don't know.

Don't order from the first site. That's sketchy. There was another site similar to that with ridiculous prices. I mean, this one has a BH with ultegra for $900 - really?

I agree, if its too good to be true, it is. I was looking for lenses for my Canon camera. This one website had a 800+ lens for only $399. Great right!? Later I googled the site name and found out that not only did they do bait and switch tactics. But many people had their card charged and never received their order.

I agree it looks sketchy. What about the one that Ultraman6970 posted? It's even cheaper.

Smells like scam to me in both cases, ask them to deliver it with COD services to see what they have to say
