Bike Choice - Giant Anthem 29 vs Silverback Strada 1

[Etienne Van Niekerk]

Thanks to all the replies. It has been a one sided affair to say the least. What I am going to do is transfer my wheels (Stans ZTR Archex) Hubs (Novatec) and all my XTR components from my built up Silverback Mercury Sport. I have chosen to go with the Giant - I enjoyed the short test ride, the price but most of all the Looks:) I hope that I will have many a happy mile on my new bike. Taking delivery on the weekend :clap: :clap:

Considered a Trek Superfly FS 8? Not sure if there are any 2014 ones still available, but the 2015 stock arrives soon.

Awesome! Remember to post pics when it's done.

That's how I did it with my Sola HT, bought the Anthem frame new and very happy so far, lots of room to upgrade and tinker. You will love your bike. Enjoy it!!
