Good morning all, I'm new to the site - as such a big shout out to everyone! I didn't ride for a number of years and as such it's time to get into the thick of things again (married life is also not helping the mini boep that seems to be growing at a steady rate for the last 12 months or so) I test drove a couple of bikes and the Giant Anthem 29er X0 and it seems to be a match made in heaven. Anyone with some experience and feedback (positive and negative) regarding the anthem? My wife also tested a couple of bikes and the Scott Aspect 10 seems to be perfect for her to start off with - any comments or suggestions would again be be welcomed. Then lastly, I also had a look at a number of bike carriers but everything seems so freaken expensive!! I do however like the Thule Euroway G2 quite a bit, is is a decent carrier or what alternatives would you guys suggest seeing that it's R5k for a small little carrier. Kind regards and thanks for all the assistance.
