Blimey, that's a stonking deal! I've not seen the 2010 Giants yet because I've not been at work for a month, but that looks like a cracking bike. In fact, I'd probably sell my own Anthem frame at the end of next season and buy that whole bike to replace it.

The Anthem X is a really good bike. It's fast, light and very capable. I have a lot of fun on it on normal trails and if you like your S Works you'll feel very at home with the suspension on this- it's very unnoticeable.I'm incredibly happy with mine.

Mine is a medium and I'm 5'10". It is quite a long frame, I'd say go for a small if you're 5'7" or under.

That does look like a good price, in comparison to this year's prices anyway. I my nip down to pedal on tonight and have a chat with them. I've been considering an AnthemX frame for a while, but that has now jumped to £995, so an extra £400 for the F100RL forks seems OK to me, then flog off the rest and replace with current kit.

just got back from the shop,after putting a deposit on the 2010 anthem x4 in small.for some reason the small won't be here until feb 2010!!!although the larger frame sizes will be earlier(and the more expensive models!!!)why is that?why don't they bring them all in at the same time?if your going to order a giant i would definitely check on when they will be able to order one.

It'll be worth the wait mate, the Anthem X is a stunningly good bike. You'll sprout devil horns the first time you jump on it 😈

Anthem X Frame 2010 for 894£

For anyone interested you can get a 100£ discount there also Winstanleys will price match it without question and they have all frame sizes in stock. I was going to buy an X3 or X2 but I needed an XS size and they dont sell full bikes for that price so I bought the frame.

Used some parts from a second hand boardman but now it is getting it a pair of 1300gr Stans wheelset and a SID Team for 325£ from Merlin.

Even with some average Recon's and heavy wheels it is one heck of a bike. You won't regret it!

Are you sure about the size – as the large 2009 Anthem X I demoed was 'tiny'…

I am 5' 4" and the XS feels right. I could have gone for the small but with the seat slightly towards the back the XS feels just right. Not sure how tall the OP is

I just picked mine up today and the car park ride was really good 😀

Looking forward to trying it for real soon.

Can anyone recommend what pressure to run the fox forks at for a 200lb rider.Does 60% of riders weight sound about right.

Thanks Iain
