I tried to buy one, but it didnt work out, my thoughts are……….
They come up very small, I tried to get one of the 18.5″ ones as they were £1199, but they come up tiny in real life, I swear my BMX has more reach! I’m 6ft and the guy in the shop said he thought a 19.5 (out of stock) might have been better, I’m sceptical though, I might even have gone to the XL.
They aren’t overly light, OK there was a good lb of shop crap (manuals, bell, reflectors, pedal covers, probably cheep inner tubes as well) but it wasn’t as fetherweight as I was expecting.
I’m still tempted, but then the anthem-x4 is even cheeper, weighs the same (IIRC) and the cheeper spec (in all but fork) so if you have some moderately pimpy bits already it should be possible to shed a big chunk of weight off the anthem-x whereas the Trek didnt have any obvious flaws in its spec that justified its weight.
