Discussion: 650B?

Is the trance now the 650B wheel size?

And I know what you mean about the bars, I got the store to cut down the bars on the Anthem before I even picked it up since they were stupid wide. massive difference to 6 years ago when my Anthem was supplied with 480mm wide bars

Yeh the new Trances are all 650B I think. I got my bars cut down too after clipping four trees on the first ride. But Saz maybe they won't cut down the bars on the demo for you!!

Saz did you look at the Lust also? The women's specific Anthem. Kalamunda Cycles has a carbon one in my size and it's BEAUTIFUL. I know why it's called Lust . . .

Yeah Its a 650b :). I'm not much into women's specific bikes, I 'm tall enough for a normal one and I don't want to pay more $$$ for a lower spec'd bike just coz its women's specific and they don't sell as many.
730mm bars, pretty sure I'll cut a cm of each end with mine.
Wally what other bikes are you trialling for Godzone?

no more trialling, I bought a new 29er Anthem last week, just the base model. It's not the fastest or the lightest but no other bikes can really compete at that price. It should be tough enough to last as well.

I did get the bars cut to 680mm, my Santa Cruz is 720, but I did clip a tree and go flying last time I rode it.
