Montreal-based bike maker Argon 18 has signed an agreement with Nevada's Sinclair Imports for the exclusive distribution of Argon 18 products everywhere in the United States.
"Sinclair has developed a substantial distribution network, particularly in the western states, where we want to reinforce our own presence," Argon 18 sales manager Marc-André Perron said. "What's more, given the company's excellent reputation for service, we feel confident that this arrangement will really benefit Argon 18 retailers in the coming years. This concern is an integral part of the culture at Argon 18; we've always felt it was important to properly support our retailers."

I have to say after having my Argon 18 Platinum for the last six years, that I hope the deal becomes more successful and the name becomes a bigger brand.
My Platinum has never let me down and it's still an excellent ride : )

I've had my Radon for two years and can't imagine ever wanting to change it. It's such a sorted bike. I'm pleased the company is doing well but when I bought mine the shop was having trouble getting frames because they were all being sold in Canada and the US. Does this mean it's going to be even harder to get them over here?
