Anyone know what year they made Anthem's in cream? – I know it's an older one, as the shock is mounted horizontally, but none of the archive pics on the Giant site seem to illustrate a cream model. Also, has anyone run one of these older models with a 100mm fork? – they seem to have specced 80mm as stock. Thanks

Not sure about the cream thing but I had an 07 one in silver with an 80mm fork, head angle was something silly like 73 degrees so a lot of people changed to a 100mm fork to improve things, never tried it myself and sold it in the end.

Thanks, I figured the fork swap would be fine. Considering a 2nd hand frame, hence the query on the age?

Anthems were specced with a 100mm fork in Oz, so there's no problem with swapping to something bigger than 80mm.

If it's properly old it'll have a Manitou shock rather than Fox RP2/23.
