    Nice ride! Same route as USN ride in January this year - back then it was a scorcher of a day... much prefer todays weather! Not really fussed about goody bags. Used to get a USN bottle at the end of these but nothing today. Don't really care... Had an awesome day out!

    jip also loving the Alu version... looking to get my soon to be two-year old a balance bike so gathering as much info as possible at this stage what looks to be important is weight, air wheels, comfy saddle, protected nuts/thread, not so much the break (until about 4 or 5)

    Giant Trance or Anthem Maestro suspension is the shizniz if you looking for comfort and good climbing ability

    i don't... thought you knew of a lekker route why not just drive out to emma (or sunninghill) and drive the full spruit and back. at least then you get about 48km off-road as opposed to 20km off-road and 90km on-tar. much better option imho

    MTB? do you go off-tar to get to Emma? sounds interesting but only if it's off-tar most of the way, else it's a bit far to go ride 20-25km on the spruit... (way too much time on tar)

    Hey Guys, Took the Anthem on her maiden ride this morning. Man! What a machine! After the ride I noticed some oil sitting on the sag / o-ring. Is this something to worry about or is it just excess oil from assembly purging out? I'm a DS noob so appreciate any guidance on this.

    I've heard previous bad reviews on the FOX fork (Fox 32 Float RL CTD Evolution) coming standard on both Spark and Anthem. It did however seem to relate to 2013 models (?) Earlier versions of the Anthem came with the FOX CTD shock and RS Reba fork - some say that set-up was much better than dual FOX... How do you Anthem and Spark owners rate the FOX fork (is 2014 model better)?

    Going down to the WC for some R&R next week and I'm allowed to take my bike! Really keen to go do some trails at Jonkershoek since I've been drooling over the horrible horrible photos you guys post each week... Anyone have GPS coordinates for the parking area close to the starting point? Don't want to waste time drive around looking for it. Secondly - is it safe / okay to ride alone @ Jonkers? Thanks!

    Old schooling it on my 1999 Trek 6000 at Heia this weekend. Forgot how k@k v-brakes are when they get some mud on 'em! And then; Loots sharing a scratch behind the ear with one of the locals.

    Thanks! Do you make this assessment based on effective top tube length? The Anthem XL TT is close to the calculated length and also close to that of my of my current bike, and hence my follow up question: On the Merida I have a 115mm long stem and when I went for the set-up the guys said this is what I need. Am I going to have to install such a long stem on the Anthem as well?

    What an awesome idea and thread!! Well done... So I'll give it a go: had Ergofit done on a Merida 29er HT last year. Results attached. Now wanting to buy Giant Anthem 29er but not sure which size - L or XL? Geometry for Anthem attached. I will go for another fit-up with the Anthem but most importantly; want to make sure I buy the correct size to start off with. So, which size will it be o-Ergofit one??
