SOLD - 2015 Giant Anthem Advanced 27.5 0 Team

Hero image

My first mountain bike. I bought it in 2016 as “last year’s model” at a steep discount. Did a good enough job teaching me to ride dirt, and certainly got me addicted to MTB.

After a few years I wanted more travel, and so I stepped up to the Epic Evo. A couple rides on that made it clear that the Giant had been substantially holding me back. Trail sections that I’d struggled with for years were suddenly easy, and features I’d never even attempted were soon within reach. My pal Glenn took the Giant out for a ride and declared it nearly unrideable.
