Agreed. The Atlas FR's in the same size are only 20 grams lighter... Not to mention the ease of maintenance that Shimano has going for them.
Nozzes, this is exactly what Norbar and Uncle Cliffy say... almost the same weight and I could get crank arms with BB directly from local Shimano distributor. I have also been told that Saint's are super stiff and don't get loose.
Any idea about shock? or seatpost?

i think you need to scrap the single crown and put a dorado on it
I have to claim it.Its a brand new fork, my 2010 Totem took a couple rides to really get going. Just give it some time.
beware of those dreaded giant seatposts! They are dangerous! The head of the seatpost wont stay adjusted. My local shop is scraping all of the aluminum Giant Posts that are coming on the bikes. From the looks of that carbon post the , the desgn is indentical. My buddy's moved on him every time he sat his ass on it. I'm not sure why they just don't spec Thomson's on all the high end Giant bikes.
This weighs in at 16.6kg (without pedals) and with fairly hefty Minion DH tyres
Hope you like the coordinated "The" saddle and e*13 chainring!

Funny you guys are putting Totems on Glorys. I'll be getting a Faith in the next couple of weeks and will be slapping a 888 EVO on it. Pics as soon as I get it done.
Well I had the Totem from my previous bike, a ReignX1. Turns out the Totem works great with the Glory, making a very light and agile DH build. I don't drop off cliffs or jump road gaps, so its well within the capabilities of the Totem!
I agree with Paul. Totem holds up pretty well, here in Alpe d'Huez 
My plastic pedals are still in one piece Ashima style rotors work well, too but rims are getting pretty hard beating Fortunately they cost me 12eur/each
Concerning the fork, a plan to get 2011 Boxxer Team and convert it to 2011 WC as a 2nd fork

So, long awaited day has finally came... my 2013 Glory S frame has arrived
It's about 120g heavier than 2010 frame.
I am going to rebuild the bike, today.
Future upgrades will hopefully be:
CC DBair, once version for Glory 2010+ be available
Wheels upgrades with WTB Frequency i23 rims and Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Spank Spike Race Stem 25mm black.
Complete bike should be around 14,5kg (tad below 32lbs)

So, I've just finished rebuilding the bike
There was slight problem with headset, one part was missing, but it's done
Surprisingly, even though, the frame is rad heavier, the bike is still 14,82kg Or maybe my scale broke down and doesn't show anything else!?
Some numbers:
wheel base: ca. 1170mm
BB height: 345mm
TT horizontal: ~555-560mm

Looking rad man, nice build 
So being a '13 frame, stock HA with a dc fork is 63.5 deg correct? Reckon with a 180 fork, should still be in the 63.5-64 range.
This is my V10 with the same-ish build

Frankly speaking, I preferred 2010 and 2011 color&graphics, but this build looks better than I feared.
It would look better with black fork lowers, but it would be just spending money I don't have
boylagz, thx Your bike is awesome, too
Axle-to-crown height of a 180mm SC fork is just the same as 200mm DC fork in lowest position of clamps. I don't know how Giant measured new bike/frame.

Werd. A Boxxer has an AC height of 568mm lowest, Fox 180 forks have 565.
