Hi thinking of getting a new giant anthem given current discounts but not sure if the X0 at around c£2.2k on best discount is worth £800 more than the x2 at c£1.4k.
Does any one have either of these bikes & know the weight of the standard variety? Also is the polished aluminium on the xo robust or scratch quickly?

I am a medium & can't seem to see any of the X1 s discounted

Any other advice re if worth to pay difference between x0 & x2 gratefully appreciated?

Pauls Cycles have medium X1's in stock for £1750 - that's what I'd go for.

Unless you are racing I personally would prefer XT to XO - cheaper to replace bits that wear out or get broken.

I'm in a similar position in looking at Anthems but they certainly seem to be in short supply. Having said that my LBS says the 2013 stock is trickling in with similar spec and keen pricing.
