@@GravelCyclist By showing the carbon fiber alone spells quality. I have an old bike showing the fiber and not only Is it beautiful but I've crashed it several times and it doesn't show any cracks. Thanks for the reply Jom, I really enjoyed that video.
Outstanding tour! Notice the layup guys using nitrile gloves when handling the prepreg-so often you’ll see factory tours where they use bare hands, which contaminates the prepreg with finger oil.
What a nice facility! Everything looks clean and high tech. I just wish more bikes or frames were shown, like the one you briefly see at 10:23 by a door, or the one at 12:16 on the floor by some glass windows. Really enjoying these HQ/factory tours! :)
Great to learn more about carbon frame production processes. Any intelligence on Argonaut’s pending gravel frame? - it’s coming soon I hear - maybe you saw a prototype just off camera?
That was the best factory tour I've ever seen. They make me proud to be an American. Well it's time to save for a new bike.
I was blown away by the quality of the carbon after extraction, almost perfect sans flashing. Argonaut's process is next-level.

I have one of their bikes. You should start saving, proud to own it.
As an Oregonian, I love Argonaut. As a custom bicycle owner, I love the brand as well. Awesome coverage!
Beautiful bikes made right here in the Northwest!!! I think I have found my next bike project… thanks for the tip!!!
What an awesome video! More of these. Amazing company & bikes!
Speedvagen / Vanilla Cycles tour is coming soon!
AWESOME BRAND!!! 💯
Far out, mint. on ya, JOM.
Niiiiice. Been an Argonaut admirer since 👀's and hands-on at 2017 NAHBS. Just gorgeous craftsmanship. Thanks JOM.
Outstanding tour!

We need a Hambini Seal of Approval before I consider another Carbon Bike lol! Happily riding Moots now.

Sarah Von Max is riding the frame (at Unbound / Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder), I've seen it once, but didn't have time to grab any intel.
