For the warranty to be valid, the bicycle must be fully assembled by an authorized Argon 18 dealer. High-end components,
particularly carbon parts, need extra care when assembled. Those components must be installed using a calibrated torque
wrench to make sure every bolt is at the right torque setting to prevent damage.
