2010 glory

IH8Rice · Jul 28, 2009

i plotted it out on my napkin taking very accurate measurements as see the HT is 64deg w/ a 14.1" BB height.

i do like that dent in the chainstay for the crank

Nice looking Sunday!

Seriously Giant. Design your own damn bikes. :mad:

I also love how Giant downsized their pivot bearings too. 6 months must be too long to go without changing your bearings.

Typical Giant. All show and no balls.

Um, it's a typical 4 bar linkage lots of manufactures use. No DW link. How is this like a Sunday?

MrPlow · Jul 28, 2009

FFS The Sunday was not the first linkage bike mate!
DW just put a lot of science and testing behind it to make his the best (IMO)
Giant has every right to use it.
Is that a Yeti top tube though?

hahaha, someone didn't like their Giant!

I had an 03 DH for almost 3 years. Sick bike until I broke it (my fault for not setting up suspension properly)

If you're going to be a hater its a nicer looking, lighter Sunday. You're ignorance is amazing.

If you're only getting 6 months out of bearings you are clearly not maintaining your bike right (house straight to the bearings?). I have had the same bearings in my Glory for almost 3 years before they went bad...

Typical forum poster, big nancy hiding behind a computer screen..and no balls.

Sort yourself out before you post nonsense

al-irl · Jul 28, 2009

Looks sweet looks similar to the new Mondraker aswell which is no bad thing. I think this could make the Glory even more popular. Also digging the old school tire combination, its a long time since ive seen that combination on a bike.

CBJ · Jul 28, 2009

Seems like they stick to the same build year after year. So many nice bikes to choose between these days.

Pete.. · Jul 28, 2009

Giant needs to start producing better looking frames.

toodles · Jul 28, 2009

Can't wait to see the price on that thing.. Looks mint

norbar · Jul 28, 2009

The proto painting was much better and I still hate the team blue the giant uses. Make it black/white like when Gee was on giant.

Covenasty · Jul 28, 2009

nice session 88..... oh wait....nevermind....

epic · Jul 28, 2009

New Michelins?

soul-skier · Jul 28, 2009

WTF??? It looks like my old 2003 Giant AC.

I don't see it, the glory looks like the reign, the new reign x, trance and trance x, not a sunday good sir. similar to dw but far from. I've owned a glory and own a sunday, they ride nothing like each other, the both are great bikes none the less but not near the same.

JCL · Jul 28, 2009

Just heard the HA on the 2010 Glory is 65.5.

A bit steep for me but knowing Giant it won't be right anyway

NoUseForAName · Jul 28, 2009

What do you mean a bit steep for you? Evil - ring any bells? Or is the Faith going to live on indefinitely?

NoUseForAName · Jul 28, 2009

Claimed weight for a stock med 37.9lbs.

yuroshek · Jul 28, 2009

i love it and our team cant wait to get them!!

Sucks they don't run proper 1.5 headtubes or you could get that fixed easy with eccentric reducer cups.

It's already been said, but I'll say it again because from experience I have to disagree. We have a load of Glory's, as well as the older style rig, and even a few ATX DH's kicking about town and they all hold up great. There was that hiccup before the links had helicoils and C-clips on the older models, but they learned from that and handled it great.

Giants are the quintessential 'all go and no show' bikes! They are not sexy, although the new rigs a getting there, and never have any flash to them. Just strong and dependable bikes that get the job done and are priced right (where I'm from anyway).

Every time I open a god damn thread about some bike that happens to use two links, a triangulated swingarm, and a vertical shock position some goober has to tell everyone how it was obviously a Sunday copy. Is it the same guy on all the forums or is their a legion of goobers doing it as a team? This is more annoying than having to constantly hear about Palmer's return (easy now.... I know some of you would give him a handjob if the chance arose). Do some homework, it's interesting and you may learn something.

mmm.... moist panties. can't wait!

LOL

But The dude is right I have an 08 Glory and it looks nearly as new as the day i brought it due to the decent paint job..Even my 03 Dh team still looked good after 4 years service!!

They ride good, there priced good and the parts are cheap!! And it looks like they are on there way to making them quite sexy.. I do have to admit the 07 to 09 glory's were nice but a bit funky! :thumb:

You know what's funny about that. Giant actually makes the Session bikes. Giant is a manufacturing company as well as a brand. This is common knowledge. Reference the huge Dirt write-up about it.

You want to sign my '64 degree head angle' petition

The Revolt is too heavy for my weedy frame

I should have kept that Session :rofl:

Sick tyres

dump · Jul 29, 2009

I think the GIANT logo could be a little bigger.

ilfreerider · Jul 29, 2009

it is stated on velovert that the frame with shock weighs 8.8 lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this for real ? i guess 35-38 lbs bikes will be the norm in the near future.
it is really amazing what companies can do with frames this days !
btw, i read somewhere that the sizing and geo will be the same as this years model (for me ,in terms of sizing ,that sux !).

Using a bit of cropping and some simple trig I put the head angle in that shot somewhere between 63.5 and 64.2.

daisycutter · Jul 29, 2009

will the glory frame take 135mm or 150mm rear hubs

Sandwich · Jul 29, 2009

Will there be a model for freeriding?

Looks good. With a frame weight that low I start to get worried about overly thin walled tubes...I feel like I hear a lot of horror stories about the session 88.

that's what the new Faith is filling in for

whered you see that at?

if they are, they need to do a better job making and overall QC on the Session's.

No they don't. It is sabotage. They are doing it on purpose to eliminate the competition.
