It looks like an '07 Krypton.
They made carbon Krypton's at least as far back as 2006.
In 2009 they made the Krypton monocoque, before that it was lugged.
I like some of those older Argon's.
Their lineup has simplified over the years, too many models before imho.

I think it is a '07 - not quite sure, but it would be a resonnable guess.
Glad to see, other people share my fetish for the brand. When I sold the Mercury I almost regretted it, and was in search for another Argon for a long time. Suddenly the Krypton came up, and I managed to get a great deal on it. I love that frame, it is stiff, very responsible and fairly light (bike is around 7.5 - I haven't gone totally WW on 'er) and I am pretty much satisfied with the look and performance.

The weight of the bike is with your lighter wheels I presume... What tires are you riding on?
You're right - the 7.5 (ish) is with the light wheels. The bars and post weighs like 'ell, but looks like a million IMHO. These tires are PRO3 Race.
Mix is working great, with no problems at all. My experience is, that you can do, whatever you want as long as RD/Brifters are the same brand (something about the indexing of the shifts). Other than that, you can just go crazy mixing and matching! I have a Record RD on my current TT bike, and that will probably be moved to this one, as the colors fit this one better - again IMHO
