Just phoned giba now and they say it should be still on

Glad to hear that. We (Giant) are sending down some great bikes for you guy & gals to test out.

+10 points for Giant!

Can't wait to see how the new Anthem compares to the old one.

Is there a ride before you buy for road sometime later the year as well?

 

Now that's a good idea.

Sorry Flea. We dont have any info on the next one in JHB yet. Bicycling runs the show. If we do get any info ahead of time, we have to wait for them to release it first anyway.

Definately gonna be there.  Just have to get kids soccer practice and one party out the way first.

 

So at lunchtime if any of you see a harassed looking dad trying out bikes with two kids in tow, then that will be me.

any feedback from the ride before you buy event this weekend? well represented by the manufacturers and distributors? or a waste of time?

[ShaughnK]

Well represented I thought. The 'test track' was nicely selected as well , I hadnt realized they would let you really give the bikes such a lengthy test ride.  A mate of mine who was about to buy brand x went a rode a selection of different bikes 

He told me this morning he now has 4 different bikes he was trying to decide between.

Very nicely done, the organising and all, and of course the bikes... depressing just being there..
