so so true!This decision is worse than the one JFK made to go for a drive on that sunny Friday back in '63.
Will you get the chance to ride either bike before making the decision?Alright so I have narrowed down my choice of bikes to 2 bikes
Merida 96 3000D Carbon 2011 Large with Sram XX1, Mavic Crossmark SLR rims, Onza Canis tyres, Sram XO brakes, ESI Chunky Grips, XTR pedals
or
Giant Anthem X Advanced SL0 2012 Large with Sram XX1, XTR Rims, Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres, XTR brakes (eventually XO brakes), ESI Chunky grips XTR pedals
now the bike will be used for XC and do some 24hr races, etc
What would be the better bike to get, that I could get down to the lightest possible weight?
does the Merida use a BB30 format?
I have $7800 to play with to get a bike or bikes
the insurance money is paying so not meDo some research over at

ill look into there stuffI am biased in my purchase decisions. With $7800 to spend i would get a frame first then parts , probably a fully decked out bike with XTR/ XX1
SC Bronson / Solo
Trek Project 1 ? They are phasing off yearly models so its all good now knowing your bike wont depreciate every bloody year
Ibis HDR / HD / SLR / Ripley (whichever floats your boat 26/27.5/29)
Devinci
Pivot
Turner
Niner
The list goes on....

Get one of the new anthem 27.5... I've been able to ride it.... and it is amazing. I suggest that you up size, and bring back the length of the stem a bitAlright so I got the process started today with the insurance company, after getting the police report, wrote down 3 bikes
- Giant Anthem Advanced 27.5 0
- Giant Anthem Advanced 27.5 1
- Giant Anthem X Advanced Sl0 2012
Should hear back from them soon
