Giant Anthem frame weight!
Moderator: Moderator Team
Hi folks.
Now I have disassembled and weightened my Anthem 2006 frame.
I had to do it in three pieces since the scale only reached 2000grams..
The frame is in size Large, 20"
To sum up:
Rear triangle + bolts, 910 grams
Front triangle, 1316 grams
Sum: 2226 grams
Suspension: 212 grams
Total: 2438 grams, size Large

Great weight for a sz L FS, but until the manufacturers get the weights down to about 2200g, I think I'll stick with my HT. Maybe the carbon Anthem next year?

I think the Turner Nitrous is about 1900g?
Thats one of the only FS bike I'm tempted by.
There are several other fs frames <2200g: Schmolke, Scott, Nicolai, Ghost...

wow, that's lighter/as light as the carbon NRS frameset it replaces.
doesn't look like you included the seatpost clamp, bottle-cage bolts (noted) or headset? not that they add much.
should be awesome. did you buy it as a frameset or strip the bike? and what's your component list?

I did buy it as a complete bike. Therefore, the bike looks as it did. It will, nevertheless, be tuned.......... I'll come back in that matter in a month or so. =)
