You're out of your mind.

Definitely 13.7397

Don't know why they would have made that bike slacker. It was the perfect number as I learned here a year ago.

does changing the geo slightly really qualify it as a 'prototype'? god the bike industry is stupid.

Hell, just change one number and put sam hill on it a BOOYAH! Now the demo 8 is a bike people buy!

if its not a production piece and they are testing new "bits" out, then yes.

I was really over the white bike thing but there is something about the color scheme, clean lines and simplicity of that whole bike that makes my pants wiggle.

does anyone know if you can get these as a frame only?

joelsman · Jul 9, 2011

only if you steal one of the wc cup team's frames but leave the parts.

Finally, the bike that should have been production.

Marketing.

If they aren't selling it, and it's different from the production model for testing purposes,

It's a prototype!

:happy:

put a cane creek angle headset in there and you have the prototype

Take it easy! I meant the Glory in general...I saw the completes on Giant's website but nothing about the frame only.

Thanks Cliffy! By the way...the XTR levers and Saint calipers combo is still working great. Did you see Gwin using that setup?

I have seen that... As soon as my boss does his next Shimano EP, some XT/XTR levers are on it.
