Decision Time - Anthem or Evolve?

What about a courier? Shouldn't be too expensive

And I recently upgaded my Anthem to a later model, and love it more than the last...

tapered steerer and 15mm Thru axle are noticable improvements

Also try Time-Freight. I sent a frame from PE to Jhb in February for R280-00.

The thing is this,you can get parts for the Gaint,the Ellsworth has won many design awards and the ride is awesome but parts is an issue.

Which parts would be an issue?

Not BB

Not Headset

Not Seatpost or Seatpost clamp

 

Hanger ... maybe ... but I know a guy.

 

The rest is either whatever groupset you build the bike up with Shimano or Sram.

 

Dont get me wrong ... I would go for the Anthem ... just saying if your LBS cant get those parts ... you need a new LBS

Yeah, I'm not too fused about parts (yet), the pivots use standard cartridge bearings and I find myself in the states fairly frequently so I can order and pick up on my way through...and I'll always have my 26er anthem to play with, which is such fun.
