You obviously haven't seen the spec on a Glory 0. At the same price or little less, plus Giant gives you a lifetime waranty.
dont get me started on problems, i sold my frame the day i got it. I am also guessing by location you see what goes on at diablo on a daily basis
That is the Glory 0 for $5200dont get me started on problems, i sold my frame the day i got it. I am also guessing by location you see what goes on at diablo on a daily basis
Giant has a pretty good spec after a quick google. msrp is 5200? Pretty good deal, although id like to see it with the 823s, but thats neither here nor there.
well, the stock bike is $3500 in Canada. Also, I work for a Kona dealer, not a Giant dealer. Finally, I like how active Kona is in supporting racing and riders at a grass roots level, and how they make a lot of cool, niche bikes.
yeah, they've tweaked stuff year to year. it's 2/3'rds degree slacker and a smidge higher BB (like 0.1 inch) compared to last year.
Just looks more than anything, no issues that Im aware of and performance is top notch from what ive seen. So asthetics mainly and not like I hate the bike LOL Id ride one....
I'm pretty sure You wouldn't want a 5.7kg frame
That and random quality is what made me not buy a commencal even though I loved the looks and wanted one for a long time.and innovative, i mean just look at that headtube badge...
I've looked many places and all are stating around 4.5kg/10lb with a rear shock. I doubt that the 5.7kg is even close to correct.I'm pretty sure You wouldn't want a 5.7kg frame
that's w/o shock. 4.5 with was the old supreme dh. The many places you've seen prolly just compied the site and assumed it's with shock as the old one was with. Considering there is a scale shot of the supreme (the smaller one) at 4.9kg with shock I doubt that the dh version is lighter. Also a friend of mine weighted his and according to him it was 5.7kg though I've seen no scale shots.
You sure you didnt need to replace your E13 wheel?
?? huh??You sure you didnt need to replace your E13 wheel?
it looks like any other Stab just with a nice new paint job. Do they still weight 45lbs?
just stirring the pot from the E13 thread, guess i failed at that
41.6 for the low end.
On the assumption this is derisive sarcasm, I'm sorry that there's like two or three people that don't care that much about having the trendiest bike in the universe.
here is my pos, (not really) no e13 on it.just stirring the pot from the E13 thread, guess i failed at that
Ill be completely honest, the chances that you get a deffective frame like i got are pretty slim. As i said posting it everywhere i was only able to find 2 other people with the problem, the real reason id stay away from yeti is their CS. The chances you get a nonproblem 303 are pretty good, but if you do, your on your own.
yea love to get a canfield, a 951, or a demo, just a cheap bastard that hates parting with what little money i have
My '10 race bike
I've had it out a few times now and it feels good. I am planning some mods though. I would like to try it with a lower BB and slacker head angle. So my plan is to get some new links (the ones from the swing arm to the shock and swing link) made. If I get some that are 10mm longer it should drop the BB about 15-20mm and slacken the HA by almost a degree but the rear tyre shoud not quite hit the seat or seat tube.
I will update with some new photos when it is done.

no srsly. There's some custom work going on with that chainguide, it looks like an MRP G2 lower with an E13 upper? Or is it all custom roller?
