Bikeman
Hard Core 4+
Back from AZ. Matt, any updates on your quest?
I rode my Giant Anthem 5 days in a row in AZ on rough, rocky single and two-tracks. I got back last Sunday, rode my 29'er hadrdtail. It was a complete jackhammer, and I cannot corner on it worth a d#$%. Needless to say, I will not be riding it anymore. It will either get stripped down and parted out, or I will sell it complete, which i'll take a big hit on ($1,500 wholesale invested). I rode my Anthem again yesterday on singletrack, and have to say it's the best 4" travel bike I have ridden to date...
