PeterF Posted June 14, 2016 Share I was very fortunate that my LBS managed to secure a 2016 Anthem frame for me. I did not realize that the mediums were so difficult to obtain. Can't wait to take her for a ride, but the wheels will take me a few days to build, in between family commitments.

Edge540 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Nice. Tangent: what bike stand is that and would you recommend it?TxLooks like the Chris Willemse one. Works ok for general tinkering but certainly not solid like the Park Tools stands. Bugvyhen again it's s fraction of the price. Happy with mine so far but don't think it would hold my XL Anthem to well on the seat post. Brawler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted June 16, 2016 Share Nice.Tangent: what bike stand is that and would you recommend it?TxHi thanks. It is the Chris Willemse stand. Probably not the sturdiest stand but at R450 on special, I can't really fault it. For home use it is perfect. Pieterlab1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted June 16, 2016 Share Why clamp the frame and not the seatpost?I find that clamping lightly on the top tube holds the bike quite securely and I can swivel it into the position I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkAdik Posted June 24, 2016 Share Then bought a 2011 Advanced from a fellow Hubber and converted from the original 105 10 speed to 105 5800. Still own this one though, very racy steed. Weighing in right now at 7.8kg Edited June 24, 2016 by VolkAdik BSG, Mopkop and BenReaper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted June 24, 2016 Share Mongoose we need pictures of your steed out in the wild.... come on... On another note, I spent some time speaking to a carbon specialist about two weeks ago. He was buying the Lefty from me that I had advertised on the Hub. He repairs carbon frames every day of his life. He confirmed that Giant frames are some of the best that you can get and he sees everything come through his shop. He says the carbon lay ups and materials are superior to almost everything else. He told me not to change brands if I was staying with carbon as my material of choice. He had no idea that I ride an Anthem Adv. Feels good to hear that from an impartial engineer. I am tired of being told that I ride the "Toyota Corolla" of bicycles. Edge540 and Mongoose! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
