Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Pink Bike podcast with me, Mike Levy.

So I've been hanging out over at the Velo podcast for a while now,

but Brian has tempted me back to the fun side by getting me one of these new giant anthems to spend some time on.

Now, if you've been on Pink Bike lately, you might have seen Jesse May Morgan's first look article on this thing, or maybe you saw

some photos of it from the World Cup pits earlier in the year. Today, we're going to go a bit

deeper, though, with Andrew Giskeitis, aka Giant's Global Product Marketing Manager, and Joe Stop,

Giants Global Offroad Category Manager.

Hello, Andrew.

It's been a while.

It's been many years.

I assume that this is a very busy time of the year for you with this new and very different

Giant Anthem.

How are you doing?

Hey, Mike.

Thanks for having me on.

I'm doing great.

We just wrapped up the launch of

Anthem and Anthem X in Taiwan. Brian, you were there, attending our launch there. And we're just

coming off of that and we're spreading the word about the products. Joe, it's also been

probably even longer since I've seen you. Now, you are obviously very involved

with the development of this new bike. You must be pretty happy to see it come out, eh?

Yeah. Thanks for the invite, first off, and thanks for having me here on the podcast.
