Argos are very much still in business and do keep good records - email them at sales@argoscycles.co.uk they may not be quick with an answer but they will get back to you. Alternatively as I am in Argos quite regularly and if you give me the number I can check when I am there.

I checked all the websites that I know of, and nada about the Argos marque. Any background data would be most appreciated....on a related note, the frame has a couple of dents in the top tube; I just ordered some frame tube blocks from UBS, and before I try using them, I would love to hear from any listmembers who have experience with these.
