They are probably taking forever because Giant doesn't have them and hasn't for the past 4 months. A few completes are starting to trickle in, but frame only is slim pickins'.

I got my large Glory 0 two weeks ago but only because my local shop owner went crazy on the Giant rep and they had it flown in from Taiwan.The bike is amazing I am so glad I got it.

Another season of Jersey Shore has started for you?

I can't wait to ride a new Glory. If it rides anything like my Reign I might have to get one.

Way more demand then they planned. I ordered my glory in early November and almost didn't get it in as promised at the end of January. Giant told my shop that I would have to wait till late april or may. Jerry shop owner was so pissed he was going to close his account with Giant. Giant unearthed one and I have been riding it (weather allowing) ever since. Nice bike I love mine.

There are frames and completes available at Dunbar Cycles in Vancouver. Budday works there and I know they have just been selling those things like crazy and still have a few left.

I tend to dislike Giant for some reason, even though I ride a Giant. But I really hope they keep selling the glorys like hotcakes. Maybe other companies will see that lower prices can work if they make a good product.

there is no reason to dislike them, they're well spec'd, well priced, have a kick ass warranty, and to boot they perform better than most options out there....

yea, there is some kind of custom headset that is supposed to correct that design flaw:rofl: Ask yuroshek:D
mine sits at a sweet 64* without the headset from Works.

Works Components was looking fora team to help develope the headset so they contacted me. I asked my top riders on the team what they thought and they said why not lets run it. They felt it will help stable the bike out in steeper and more wide open courses.

I didnt mean the glorys specificly. I was talking about Giant bikes in general. I love my dh comp. But the company as a whole, I just never have been fond of. Although I do love the new glorys, reigns and faiths. Its just awesome to see an affordable dh race frame that actually works.

Would be interested to see actual sales number versus other bikes...

Most companies are short 2010 stock this year...

Giant probably based their production off dealer booking orders, and if dealers didn't pre-order a lot of Glorys, then there won't be many for inseason orders...

Either that or they intentionally kept production low to generate all this market 'hype'

How can Chain Reaction knowingly sell that Sunday for that much? No more frames exist and there is zero warranty. You're buying a time bomb. A very good riding time bomb, but still.

From CRC: "**All Iron Horse bikes on CRC are covered by a standard 1 year warranty"

What that 1 year warranty includes, who knows.

No worse than buying an Intense. Seriously tho, people keep writing that Sundays are going to explode all of a sudden but how many have you seen broken? Most of the suspension components can be easily found for sale or made.
