I googled this frame last week and found a temporary page on a legit online seller (the page seems to be down now) that listed this frame at $4500. If that's turns out to be true, then I can't get excited.

The new frame spotted at the Tour of Utah ridden by Jelly Bean's
The way that Argon usually work I would be surprised if it wasn't identical geometry to the Gallium Pro. I don't know for sure though.
One thing that worries me is that they've changed their normal threaded 3d+ stack adjustment system to a press fit because of the aero shaping. I can imagine the inflexible MAMILs with bars up high getting no end of headset creaking.

So has anyone seen one of these in the wild or thrown a leg over one? Saw it at Interbike and am intrigued.
This shop in Switzerland has got at least one Nitrogen. The article is in German: http://www.tempo-sport.ch/infos/news/news0/article/argon-18-nitrogen-erster-test/
