I ordered a 32t oval hope chainring I'll post how it fits when it arrives.
The fs has the badazz Geo. But if you want a longer travel trailer bike with more options for rear shock I would take a hard look at the P9.

Please do let us know how it fits. I was planning on an absolute black 32t oval chainring and I am a bit worried it may not fit from the comments above.

You can get the 165x45mm shock from a few places now, but it is 165x42.5 for the Giant Anthem. Giant just reduced the travel from 45mm to 42.5mm

It's around $330, search for 165x42.5mm

Peter sent me some pictures of the new cable routing, which looks much better than the top tube style.

Email from Peter: "Current rear cable routing is from top tube through seat tube. Do you want us to change the rear cable routing from down tube through chainstay ?"

My reply: "Yes routing the rear break through the down tube to chainstay would be a much better designs. I would purchase the frame with this change. I know a lot of the people on chinertown agree this is a necessary change. Please let me know if it is possible. thank you. "

Peters reply: "Yes, it is possible, what size do you need the frame in ?"

Any pictures of the new cable routing? I would much prefer the rear brake to run through the downtube and chainsaw similar to the derailleur.
