Understatement of the yearBad luck Jubas.... I know you've been waiting for the bike for a while.
What timelines has Giant given for the recall (if any?)
I wonder if week 46 is going to turn into week 52

Crazy, its not like the frame just appeared on the market, it was obviously raced and photographed a fair bit on the US race circuit. I guess i should be thankful im XL sized. Still though, bit of a worryXL size are OK. All others recalled.
It's a problem with the top tube/seat tube join.
Back to the drawing board I presume ...
I thought they brought it to market pretty quick.
As long as the HT is a 29er you'll be ok . Anything these days on a 26er is cancelledNot particularly happy that I now am riding a 100km and a 24 hour on a hardtail. Super looking forward to that.
Er - what about testing the frame before releasing it?.... I cannot think what more they could do.
I'm still waiting on an update from my lbs but I think leftieant is right.. it would be nice to have something to ride if i've got a 3+ month wait for delivery. Especially after being in the system for a 3 week delivery. Total time waiting could easily blow out to 4 or 5 or 6 months depending on the impact of this recall.. incredibly frustrating!From my understanding, Giant is supplying replacement bikes to the shops - I was offered a range of bikes From XTC 29er to Trance. Chose an Anthem and was told that I too would have an X1 as replacement. Very impressed with Giant as a company standing behind it's dealers and customers. Feel sorry for the LBS owners having to call up their customers…apparently not the best response from some customers. Giant has been fantastic and I cannot think what more they could do.
Had you actually received your anthem 29er yet, or are you on the waiting list as well?My LBS has hooked me up with a brand new Anthem X1 while I have to wait! how good is that?? Sad to hear about the recall(mine has been on order since june0, but stoked by my LBS handling of the situation!
I am pretty sure Copenbas is in the same situation as me. Both in Brisbane and the dealers never even saw the bikes before the recall.Had you actually received your anthem 29er yet, or are you on the waiting list as well?
I was told that the issue came up in the testing of the production run frames…ie after all of the prototype and pre-production testing has been done.Er - what about testing the frame before releasing it?
