As title.
I was debating a Spearfish with FSA Sl-K carbon everything an XT Groupo with Hope finishing kit.
On the other hand, that's going to be expensive as F*&K
Or do i just buy a an Anthem 29'r?
A Medium is 26lbs with no pedals ( i weighed it)
But if i did that, i'd want to change some bits. (Brakes, Bars, Stem, Seatpost, Wheels.)
Shop me yours!

A bloke at the 24/12 had one of those Niner bikes ^^^^ in bright green and it looked really nice.
Ohh love the tangerine. Makes me smile too. Very nice.

I have a Salsa Big Mama but have no idea how to make pictures magically appear on the interweb.....
Very happy with Salsa (have a Fargo also) and liked the look (and weight) of the Spearfish when i saw it at Mayhem this year.
Like the look of the new Salsa 'Horsethief' though as well which is on the 29 inches website. It'd be on my list if i broke the Big Mama.
Spesh are doing more 29er FS this year but i find them a bit fugly.
I cannot bring myself to ever buy one again.
(sold them for five years)
Shoes, Gloves and Helmets mind, epic.
Anyone have pictures of the 2012 Anthem 29?
quite scarce i think the anthem 29er is.
Nothing like what you're looking for but I've been blown away by how great this is.

John, how does the Rumblefish ride on tighter stuff? Looking to demo one soon.

I wanted one but struggled to find a frame deal from a US dealer [AFAIK still not available as a frame only in EU] that would ship here
I toyed with getting it shipped to a US drop box for onward shipping but it started to get far too complicated so I abandoned the plan
quite scarce i think the anthem 29er is.
Been in Australia for around 2 years and are everywhere on the streets and trails.
There were quite a few problems early on but they are very cheap so remain very popular.

I'd say 'good but not anywhere near as good as a 26er', I've just got rid of a Rumblefish 2 and I thought the wheels were flimsy, the Fox RP23 BV shock Trek fitted was low velocity tune and far too soft for a 19" 29er, Trek wouldn't change it even though they ad fitted a medium tune shock to my mates Rumblefish 1 he bought at same time.
When I went up to Lee Quarry it was super stable on the fast downhill bits but on tight twistys it showed it flaws...
