[Help.Me.]

I have a 2013 Giant Anthem 29 er and also an Orbea Oiz 26er. At some stage i borrowed a friends Giant Anthem 26er and it made a huge differance to my cycling abilities.....the bike fitted me like a clove and i enjoyed it very much.

We then tried to duplicate the setup on my Orbea but it never felt the same. I am in the position to lay my hands on a brand new Giant 26er frame and are planning to build my old parts on to the new frame......Now the million dollar question must i stick to the 26er frame or must i consider the 27.5 er frame? i havent looked at the 27.5 in frame as yet. Just a question that popped up now? The bike will basically used as a back up bike for my 29er........

 

Thanks in advance !!

Go for the sixer. If you loved it in sixer format, you will love it in sixer format again. At least you already know the outcome!

 

Plus with 650 you'd have to get a full new wheelset and fork if you just buy the frame.
