After riding on the road for four months (bought my first MTB on 2nd July), finally I commit my self on a real road bike. Bought this Argon 18 - Radon, a half carbon road bike from my usual LBS.

high tech machine,what's the LCD gauge for?
Hi Thomas,
That the Cateye Wireless Cyclometer - that show your current speed, average speed, distance, time travel, current time and odometer (cumulative distance).
There a magnet at the bicycle fork and sensor at the front fork which send wireless signal to that "LCD thingy"

Wan,
Saya beli dari Joo Ngan shop thro' our LBS here.
I don't have any road bike to compare to, but from my Kona MTB (hybrid-commuter bike), sure very different - fast, responsive and rigid.
I email the price to you.
