My first susser... have been looking and researching for weeks now... had a couple of demos, Kona, Orange, Santa Cruz (silly dream never affordable) And was strongly considering Rose or Whyte. But could not find any real examples to chuck my (shorty) legover... Last week after taking my HT in for full drivetrain replace to one of my LBS's who are Giant dealers, I saw this... Anthem SX 27.5 and liked it 
Is pretty close to being ordered... Seems like a lot of bike for the cash.
They are offering a wheel upgrade, £200 for a tubeless setup on either DTSwiss or Hope hubs on Arch or another rim (which I have forgotten as he said it was more a lightweight racing rim). Seems worthwhile, but I know nothing of wheelbuilds really, except that I don't really enjoy the Hope racket.
Other issue is Nobby Nic front, Racing Ralph rear, (both TL Ready EVO Folding) they seem to divide opinons... I'm about 65 kilos, 5' 6", and my riding is mostly trail/XC with trailcentre red stuff every now and then. They'll change the tyres for anything I supply, or that they stock, but I can't recall what they stock. They certainly don't do Maxxis, but I think I saw Continental and Bontreger on shelves. What should I choose?
All and any advice, specifically about wheels/tyres, will be welcomed, considered and then probably ignored.
