Who doesn't keep a 3-4 year archive of bikes? I have looked at 6year old Trek models, my 2004 Kona, Specialized to 2004.BIG props to Giant for keeping an archive of past year's bikes on it's web site. Coolest thing ever, wish other companies would do it.
Not like it costs them anything to keep the old pages on their server.
I hate to point out the obvious, but yes it does. it's the Reign that is not offered as a framekit.meh... no reignX as a frame set .
as mentioned, the reign x is available as a frame set.meh... no reignX as a frame set and the Glory DH is only available as a frame.
nothing new here to note at all.
sorry! it should be weight not waitWhat do you think the wait is on the glory?
Just under 12.5lbs with shock and spring. Look for 2lbs/3lbs to come off of that on the 2010 frame.sorry! it should be weight not wait
but does any body know what the weight is?
what do you think a complete 2009 glory is going to weight?Just under 12.5lbs with shock and spring. Look for 2lbs/3lbs to come off of that on the 2010 frame.
I would say about 44lbs. My old one 06 was 45lbs stock and I got it down to 40.5lbs with no problem. The wheels are where I shaved the most weight.what do you think a complete 2009 glory is going to weight?
Good googly-moogly, that is alot of weight for a frame these days even with the shock. I hope for Giant's benefit, even though I am not a big Giant fan, they can take off a couple of lbs by 2010.Just under 12.5lbs with shock and spring. Look for 2lbs/3lbs to come off of that on the 2010 frame.
yea but even tho it weighs a few extra pounds, it out pro forms many many bikes out there on the market. so either take it or leave it.Good googly-moogly, that is alot of weight for a frame these days even with the shock.

damn keith thats pretty light, i guess all the saint stuff really lowered the weight this year. yours is medium right?i just got the 09 glory complete that weighed in at 42.9 lbs without pedals. not bad. what a great build for a complete bike. the new saint products are great!
I'm sure it's a great preformer but still at that weight, I'll pass and stick with my enduroyea but even tho it weighs a few extra pounds, it out pro forms many many bikes out there on the market. so either take it or leave it.
but yes, it would be nice to loose those extra few pounds, but giant knows their products are some of the best and stand behind it even if its a little heavy.
except those are two completely different bikes built for two completely different types of riding...hard to complain about the weight there.I'm sure it's a great preformer but still at that weight, I'll pass and stick with my enduro
perhaps, but I will still pass on the Giant. And at 12.5 lbs you have to admit that is alot of weight for todays standards. However, I will say this about Giant they still have reasonable prices which does make them more appealing compared to many of the leading mfg's who are pushing 4,5, and 6 g's for their bikesexcept those are two completely different bikes built for two completely different types of riding...hard to complain about the weight there.
hate to say it but giant really upped their prices this year and are sittin at 5,400 for a complete. yes alot of money but yet still about 1,000 less then a sunday. take that extra 1,000 you save and buy yourself some race fees/hotels and gas for the season. the glory is a great race rig. also since it weighs in at 44 complete it doesnt even feel like it. the weight is so low in the frame and rides/pedals very good so its hard to tell it even weighs that much. go out and throw a leg over you, you will see.perhaps, but I will still pass on the Giant.

and the enduro? do you actually race DH on that thing? prob not on any crazy east coast trials...
I can't say I do much racing anymore these days, regrettably. And being part of the midwest riding crew.... can't say I get out to east coast trails much either, although I have heard nothing but good things about that part of the US for cycling in several disciplinesand the enduro? do you actually race DH on that thing? prob not on any crazy east coast trials...
Yeah i thougth the same thing, I'm keeping my faith until the second generation glory came out.I've got a 09 Trance X frame coming. It will be used as my all mountain/XC ride. I'll replace my Faith frame with the new 2010 Glory frame. As nice as the new 09 Glory's are it doesn't have any real performance adavantages over the faith frame set.
