I knew that hideous shock placement wouldn't last... Looks so much better!
Yeah, there's going to be people who bought an 08' who are kicking themselves now.

Damn good looking bike, the front does look like a Trek, but lots of companies are using curved tubing like that.

Does it come in rootbeer, cause it looks flexy in white. It looks kinda like a Karpiel/IH Sunday/BMC fourstroke/Indy Fab/Trek 88/IH 7point/IH 6point/mkIII/Duncan/PDC eight2five/Intense/Santa Cruz/Pivot/any other short link 4 bar, but it isn't.

Wow, its funny how no pictures up untill now have shown up on the web. They have done a great job of that this time. Cats out of the bag now!!!! The frame is almost 2.5lbs lighter than the old Glory which makes it around 10lbs with shock. I am sure you will see more pics from the US Open and the next WC of it.

2.5lbs... wow. That was just about the only problem with the old one - to heavy.

i wonder if giant just paid out DW to jump ship from IH to giant, instead of battling him in court. ???

looks sexy, cant wait to ditch my 08 and get the 09. i bet you could build the 09 to 38lbs... or even lighter.

p.s. i hope giant is the new big thing that would be sick. no hatin on me since ive already been on giants....

I think quality on Giant is pretty much all you can ask for. I hope the geometry will be sick too.

neither here nor there
all this fightin... when you should be asking the real questions like "rootbeer?" and "will this bike make me any less of a fairy and get off my brakes?"

the answers to both unfortunately are likely to be no.

I was hoping to see the giant proto in Maribor, but the giant guys were still on the current ones.

That bike could be a good alternative but only if the next non dw link equipped Sunday will not rock:monkeydance:

So come on Giant and IH - give us some proto pics:imstupid:

Totally agree. Your not going to get any girls because of how your bike looks so who cares. Performance is all that counts.

Did anyone mention it looks exactly like a Sunday, and according to my high tech .jpeg-5000 drafting system, I can assure you all it has the same IC path, squat curve, and water bottle holder positions and works the exact same.
