Having ridden my krampus for a while now and eventually falling in love with it (had some teething problems) I fancy the idea of a full suss 29er.

Consequently I ordered a Giant anthem X1 29er from a LBS.

They delivered a Giant anthem X1 26er.....

When I pointed out there error thy were very apologetic and promised to sort it.

Unfortunately they are unable to supply me the bike I want so have given me some options.

1- full refund
2- keep it
3- specialized camber
4- Whyte m109

I don't want a camber, so any suggestions?

Say thanks but no thanks and go elsewhere. Well done for supporting your LBS but when mine (JD cycles) couldn't find me the road frame I was after I had a conversation with them about going over to the dark side and getting it from a big retailer. If they are indeed a good LBS ( like JD cycles ) then it's all done with no hard feelings.

What I can't grasp is how the price difference wasn't flagged up! You'd think someone would notice a 400 quid 'discount'.

29er's a much better bike imho.Had a loan of a 26" Anthem for a fair bit & it's a decent enough bike..Bought the 29" version last October & it's a great bike....

I have had an anthem 26er as my 'race' bike for the last 2 years. (By race I mean bike I have stuck numbers on)

I loved it, so figured a 29er would be ideal.
