just idle curiosity really. I have a 2009 Anthem X1. When I bought it last March, Giant had already sold out of framesets and had <10 X1s left, so by the time it was WMB Bike of The Year you couldn't actually buy one (marketing FAIL). I've never seen another one on the trails – I see more Yetis and Turners than Anthems. So how many of them did they actually sell?

I'm never sure about the claims with these numbers. Apparently there's only 8 of my frames in the UK, and counting mine I've seen three of them so far. I suspect either someone can't count or there's been some unoffical importing going on.

even worse than being a thread killer, is starting a thread that no-one gives a toss about
