Diving deeper still.

Welcome to the latest deep dive into the Argonaut Way—our proven process for crafting the world’s best riding bikes. Last week, we explored the world of custom paint and how our talented team in Bend can bring nearly any aesthetic to life. Now, we turn our attention to one of the most essential—and often overwhelming—aspects of a custom bike: component selection.

Why Component Selection Matters

At Argonaut, a bike is more than the sum of its parts—it’s a seamless fusion of precision, performance, and personality. Every element plays a crucial role, but beyond simply having wheels, a truly exceptional bike demands the right wheels, drivetrain, and cockpit to match the rider’s unique style and needs.

After years of crafting bespoke frames, we distilled our vision of the world’s best-riding road and gravel bikes—the RM3 and GR3—into a singular, uncompromising concept: the Supernaut.

Outfitted with Argonaut R43/D33 wheels, engineered for the perfect balance of stiffness and ground feel, equipped with a top-tier groupset from SRAM or Shimano, and finished with hand-selected ENVE touchpoints, the Supernaut is the bike we dream of riding every single day. To streamline access to the transcendent ride quality our carbon fiber is known for, we’ve curated build kits that handle the key decisions for you. All that’s left is to dial in your ideal stem and crank length based on your fit data—then roll out.

This is the essential Argonaut experience. For riders, by riders, with a singular mission: to redefine ride quality. Nothing more, nothing less. Simply, the best.

Full Custom: The Ultimate in Personal Expression

The Supernaut concept was born from years of building dream bikes for the most passionate, discerning riders. But we also know that “perfect” is personal—it shifts depending on who you are and how you ride. That’s where Argonaut Full Custom comes in.

We’ve already explored how custom geometry transforms your ride, how custom layup enhances every pedal stroke, and how custom paint turns an engineering marvel into a moving masterpiece. But what about components? What if top-shelf RED, Dura-Ace, or Super Record doesn’t feel like you?

That’s where our concierge-level component selection service, led by our expert Product Manager, Cory Sullivan, takes over.

Cory goes beyond fit data and power profiles—he gets to know you as a cyclist. What fuels your passion for riding? What demands does your terrain place on your build? Do you need ultra-stiff race wheels for all-out attacks on the flats, or are you—like our client featured here—seeking a build optimized for climbing efficiency, descending stability, and serviceability?

With years of experience designing unique, high-performance builds, Cory is a true expert—a master of technical knowledge and precision mechanics. We guarantee that every detail of your custom bike will be an extension of you, crafted with the same obsession for performance that defines every Argonaut.

Featured Build:
A Masterclass in Component Selection

The client build we’re featuring today is a testament to how the right components bring a bike together. Hailing from Brazil—a land alive with the lush rainforest of the Amazon and the energy of metropolitan centers like São Paulo—this rider wanted a paint scheme that reflected the landscape that inspires them every day.

Dressed in a stunning emerald moss fade to raw carbon with a matte finish and Magma logos, this RM3 takes it a step further with color-coordinated DT Swiss 240 hubs laced to Princeton Carbonworks Peak 4550 Evolution rims. The red hubs perfectly echo the magma accents, while Princeton’s wind-cheating wave technology enhances the already breathtaking lines of the RM3.

For performance that matches its aesthetics, this build features a Shimano Ultegra groupset—a masterpiece of precision shifting and reliable braking in all conditions. With its sleek matte finish and a pedigree built on performance, it’s the perfect companion for long miles in the saddle.

Practical yet deeply personal, this is the kind of build that fuels our passion and pushes us to keep redefining what’s possible in custom carbon fiber craftsmanship. Simply put: our dream is your dream bike.
