Hi Guys and Gals,

It is time for a new race frame:

Thinking of a Giant Anthem Advanced, anybody used one?

What else should I take a look at? (money no object, to a point, obviously, so less than £2000 for the frame)

Cheers in advance!

Anthem X Advanced? Seeing as the Anthem is being discontinued.

Was going to suggest one of these, but it's £50 over you're budget.

Dougal – thanks for that, that would explain why there are Anthem advanced around with interesting discounts at the moment!

That MSC loks nice, and always appears on similar threads, its light for sure at ~3.5lbs, but has anybody ridden one? Whats the handling like etc?

Dougal rides one, that was going to be my suggestion, on paper at least it looks fantastic, you have to wonder what's been compromised!

There's so many excellent things out there now, it's all personal.

S-Works Epic
Top Fuel 9.9
Yeti ASR-c
Titus X
Anthem X Advanced
Spark Ltd
etc

It's just about what you like.

Merida FLX3500D complete bike £2500 22.5 lbs

Dimmadam – that Merida is great value for money, but I should have specified at the onset, I am really lookign for a short (max 4") travel FS frame.
