Vetplant Posted November 30, 2018 Share R15kSounds about fair price. I bought a 2010 Anthem X1 for about R14k earlier in the year, but it was a realllly pretty frame with some labels coming off on the rims and fork. I think the ballpark price seems reasonable. BUT, you HAVE TO have a proper look at it and even pay a bikeshop to go through all the joints and shocks to ensure you don't have some costly repair bills as soon as you take ownership. I love my Anthem, good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted November 30, 2018 Share Just bought an exact copy a few weeks back... Fortunately mine was pristine condition and having just gone through the fork and shock oil change and fluid service, they're perfect too... Paid the same asking price, however when a seller is upfront that the bike is well used, be prepared for a couple extra k on fork and shock services, bearings, and any other changes.. Ive changed mine to 1x10 and thoroughly enjoy it. Wonderful ride and very little pedal Bob. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette3 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Good bikes, but I would hesitate buying a 2011-2013 second hand as they were very prone to cracking at the seat tube - top tube stay. Later bikes the problem was solved by adding a bit more meat at the joint. Drive trains and Forks etc you need to know what you looking at when buying second hand too, and maybe just budget in the cost of some pads, cassette and chain. There was a batch of Fox forks around that time that was also known for wearing stanchions if not services regularly. Can't go to wrong with and Anthem though.
