The Argonaut story .

Ben Farver started his custom bike building career working with steel in 2007. He built bikes out of steel because that was the frame material he loved to ride, and he felt steel had the best overall ride quality. However, the quest for more performance inexorably led Ben to the qualities of carbon. But it wouldn’t be the sort of carbon you find on the racks of most bike shops. No, carbon piqued Ben’s interest not so much because of its ideal strength to weight ratio, but rather its nearly limitless potential for customization.

Nearly 20 years later, Ben and the team at Argonaut are building bikes that retain the feeling of the original steel bikes made in the early days, but lighter, stiffer where it counts, and with a ride quality that we feel is truly transcendent.

Every Argonaut is uniquely conformed and configured to the needs, preferences and style of its individual owner. And every Argonaut rides like an Argonaut.
