Help Please. Specialized Stumpjumper or.....

[Smithers Jones]

Sorry to post a 'what bike' thread, but i am after some opinions. Im about to treat myself to a new bike. At present, the bike in pole position is a 2010 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp. However, I am also tempted by the Giant Anthem X3.

Does anyone have any experiences or advice they wish to share? Or even throw some other bikes into the mix!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the responces. It seems there is very little between the two.

The bike will be used at Trail centres for the most part, Cwmcarn and Afan etc. Anyone care to throw any other suggestions into the mix?

Thanks for the input. It looks as though a few more sleepless nights are on the way as I try to decide!
