Argounaut Cycles has just launched the latest evolution of its road model, the RM3. Could the construction of its predecessor be improved? We think it was difficult, but the boys in Bend, Oregon, seem to have succeeded.
When we had the chance to test the previous model, we told you about the good work in the manufacturing process and the qualities of the frame. Well, Argonaut has changed the molding system for a completely new one with its own signature. This new technique is applied in the production of the frame, as well as in the fork and stem, which are not manufactured by third parties in order to achieve a better homogenization of the set, as well as complete hiding of the wiring. Ben Farver, founder of Argonaut Cycles, explain to us that the new model absorbs irregularities better, and at the same time, it’s more reactive, both because of the rigidity in the accelerations and the improved handling implied by the absence of cables.
The RM3 will have 12 pre-designed geometries and the possibility, as in the previous model, of producing a completely customized geometry to suit the user. There will also be the option of custom painting and the chance of acquiring frameset or complete bikes.
According to Argonaut, the RM3 aims to set a benchmark for what a high performance custom carbon bike can be like.

Sibarita como pocos, meticuloso y perfeccionista, un ciclista con clase y un gran performance encima de la bici. Su debilidad son las bicis handmade las cual considera como piezas de arte y es todo un experto en la materia. Meticulous and always with attention to detail, he is pure class on the bike, where he shows his level. His soft spot is anything related to handmade bike, which he considers as pieces of art and he is an expert of the topic. View all posts by Sergio Querpache
Argounaut Cycles acaba de presentar la última evolución de su modelo de carretera, la RM3. ¿Se podía mejorar la construcción de su predecesora? Creemos que era difícil, pero los chicos de Bend, Oregon, parece que lo han logrado.
Cuando tuvimos la oportunidad de testear su modelo anterior, os contamos el buen hacer en el proceso de fabricación y las cualidades del cuadro. Pues bien, Argonaut ha cambiado el sistema de moldeado por uno completamente nuevo y de firma propia. Esta nueva técnica la emplea tanto en la producción del cuadro, como en la horquilla y potencia, que prescindiendo de terceros, son manufacturadas por ellos mismos con el fin de conseguir una homogeneización del conjunto superior, así como una ocultación completa del cableado. Ben Farver, fundador de Argonaut Cycles, nos ha explicado que el nuevo modelo absorbe mejor las irregularidades, y a su vez, es más reactivo, tanto por la rigidez en las aceleraciones como por el manejo mejorado que implica la ausencia de cables.
La RM3 contará con 12 geometrías prediseñadas y la posibilidad, como en el modelo anterior, de producir una geometría completamente custom para adaptarse al usuario. También existirá la opción de pintura personalizada y la oportunidadde adquirir frameset o montajes completos.
Según palabras de Argonaut, la RM3 aspira a ser un hito de referencia, sobre lo que una bicicleta de carbono customizada de alto rendimiento puede llegar a ser.
