The Convert Posted December 10, 2007 Share Which is a better option? They both retail for around R20 - R21 000. I've read and heard such great things about both. This is a big decision...The Convert2007-12-10 05:50:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted December 10, 2007 Share The Specialized is the better looking bike but the Anthem will be lighter, hence it will be a better racing bike me thinks. Both good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted December 10, 2007 Share the anthem will give you more value 4 your money. but then again: you not going to make a living from cycling. buy the one you like most.popeye2007-12-10 06:02:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted December 10, 2007 Share I agree, if you riding for podium the 1-2kg weight should not worry you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BBi Posted December 10, 2007 Share Had a similar choice a couple of months, went with the Specialized because I like the suspention and frame looks more - I know, very objective.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted December 11, 2007 Share Anthem, I think the suspension works better. You are forking out some good cash, take both for a good long (a few hours over varied terrain) test ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racman Posted December 11, 2007 Share Also remember - if you bought the Giant you can't say (like Marius) - I'M SPECIAL !!!! May not seem like much now but constant self affirmation works over time(I think) racman2007-12-11 02:06:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest colonel Posted December 11, 2007 Share I got the Anthem 1 the other day for the Epic and I can say its the best MTB Ive ever ridden, Ok I havent ridden many but still its a really good bike. Specilized are over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted December 11, 2007 Share What do the bikes come equipped with? I don't think you can go wrong with either - go and have a look at what others are saying Anthem : http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/xc_full_suspension/product_128625.shtml Epic : http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/xc_full_suspension/product_125786.shtml I would go for the Specialized - just because it is a Specialized.

_BBi Posted December 11, 2007 Share So, so not by a Specialized so the rest of us can be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colonel Posted December 11, 2007 Share So why get something "Special" if everyone has it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted December 11, 2007 Share Surely not as 'common' as a Giant I suspect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
