Had this Argonaut Cycles custom built road bike, complete with integrated electronic shifting, in the studio the other day. Nice internal wiring, custom paint meeting polished stainless steel, and fancy removable (changeable) dropouts. Nice stuff. You can check out a few more shots after the jump. The bike was built for a tradeshow, and it’s for sale, so if you’re in the market for a bad-ass custom machine, and you’ve got a few grand (okay, almost 12) kicking around, go get it. You can see previous “bike portraits” here (you’ll find further links from there as well).

A lot of custom bikes rolling through here lately. If you dig these you can check out some previous bikes I shot here and here. If you missed it, you can also check out the video I did on Jordan Hufnagel for Level Magazine here.

Hufnagel and Argonaut are both Portland builders I shoot regularly. DeSalvo is a well-known builder from Ashland who I’m told cranks out a ton of high-quality builds, many of them (the below bike as well) in Titanium. Nice, very different bikes from all the guys. Check them out after the jump.
