Trek 8000 or Giant Anthem

So following on from the below “stolen bikes” thread, Im thinking of a replacement bike. What are views of the Trek 8000 – I did like and get on with my old trek 6500. I know anthem’s always seem to get good reviews, but all voices are welcome

Thanks again

I have a pair of 2007 Trek 8000’s (well they were originally). I like the ZR9000 frame very much – 1570g in 19.5″ – but have upgraded both bikes significantly. Rides very well – rigid but not too stiff, sharp steering.
I am quite a heavy rider and have no issues until now with either.

Hard to make any direct comparison with a fully framed bike… (I also have an Epic for when the going is dry, fast and bumpy).
