For sale is my size large 2018 Giant Anthem 2, 27.5 in blue/orange. The bike only has 574 miles on it and is in great shape but I am selling it as I should really be on a medium frame and even with a 35mm stem I could not get a great fit on this bike. The Anthem 27.5 is marketed as an XC bike but with the 130mm front fork it really blurs the line between an XC and trail bikes. I would happily ride this bike for years to come if it weren't too big for me.

The chain was just replaced and is brand new. There are a few minors dings including one paint chip on the rear triangle and a very small dent in the rear rim (does not affect its ability to hold the tire bead or cause it to leak air). Both wheels are true. The fork is due for a basic lower leg service which will be the responsibility of the new owner.

Extras included in the sale are a spare rear derailleur hanger, pair of Race Face Chester pedals (blue), Marsh Guard front fender, Fox volume reducers for both the fork and shock, custom downtube and chain stay protection I cut from heavy duty mastic rubber tape, ODI Rogue grips. I have also changed the tires to a DHF/HR2 combo as follows: Maxxis Minion DHF, 27.5x2.3, 3C, 60 tpi, EXO, TR, set up tubeless(front); Maxxis High Roller II, 27.5x2.3, DC, 60 tpi, EXO, TR, set up tubeless(rear).

Really interested.
What width tire will this accept?
How tall are you? I'm 5'11 which giant puts at the upper end of a medium.

I think trail with xc emphasis will be perfect for me coming from 8 years on an 29 hardtail.

I am not 100% sure on max tire width but I believe it can take up to a 2.6 in the rear. The front will probably take a 2.8 if you really want to go big. I am 5'10 but I also have short legs. I would think at 5'11 this bike would fit you as long as you don't have stumpy legs like I do.

You can certainly throw a leg over it before you make any decisions.

Lol
I hear ya... this is an awesome price!

Yes it is. I am going to take a hit on this thing but I need to get it out of my garage to keep things civil. The bike is in great shape. If your direction happens to change let me know.
