nate, can you take a picture of the bike with your shirt on wearing flip flops and a pair of Calvin Kein knit boxers...oh, and one with your shirt off too.
Hey guys, sorry I am a little behind on the DT measurement. I will get to it this weekend for sure. I have been a bit scattered this week. As far as the weight goes, I have it I'll just make sure it's okay for me to post that information...
Such pics You can send directly to bizutch if he/she wantsnate, can you take a picture of the bike with your shirt on wearing flip flops and a pair of Calvin Kein knit boxers...oh, and one with your shirt off too.
Downtube measurement (from center of BB to center of the 1.5" lower cup) is 26". Keep in mind that is for a medium frame. I should have a build late this coming week, pending parts arrive (fingers crossed). So Keep your eyes peeled for another update.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I got the okay to post frame weights....so here it is.
Med Frame (w/axle, seat collar, headset cups (no bearings), and DHX RC4 w/ steel spring) - 9.125lbs or 4139 grams
Hope that helps

Full spec for the 2010 Build, at least for the UK. Doubt it'l differ elsewhere though.

Oh man! This is awsome!
And the weight! The frame w/o axle and headset cups is 4000g? My S size should be even lighter 
Seriously. I am actually holding my breath to see your build Nate.
As a geo hater, i am looking for 64 deg. Love the bike - and seeing a pic of the Glory 1 elsewhere actually puts it at the top of my list.

That freaks me out. The frame will be so fragile it will desintegrate before the french gipsies can take it from youOh man! This is awsome!
It's waaaay more durable than the sessions I've seen.The Tubes aren't so thin and they kept the weight down, and below the Trek I believe?..I don't know how they did it, but this bike is Sick!!!
Very funnyThat freaks me out. The frame will be so fragile it will desintegrate before the french gipsies can take it from you
I will keep it in my bed, next time
Natedog, did You weigh the axle? How it's done? I mean, do You still need two flat wrenches to tighten it?
The internet is calling. Do you have an answer?
I just weighed the new axle vs. the old axle.Very funny

The new axle is 100 grams lighter than the old. You save a 1/4 pound in the bike weight (and unsprung weight to boot!) just in the axle.
Hey Nate, got an MSRP price (USD) on the Glory Frameset?
That can't be right at all. $1600 for the frameset??? Probably more like $2600-2800.I heard it was 1600 USD !
Nate, stop teasing us... show the complete bike

Edit: Nate - can you actually press a 1.5 headset at the bottom or does it require a special internal cup?

I did hear it is much lower than last years cost.

That is a pretty amazing price.
jankies, that's incredible!
That's what I thought as well when i saw it the first time. I wasn't sure if it was a typo so i figured i'd ask to double check.
How??? That is cheaper than the corsair FR rig. That is half the price than any comparable frameset. Crazy.
If that is the case then I just found my wife's new DH frame!!!
$1600. It's true. Same goes for the Faith.
It is $150 more than the new Reign X ($1450) which looks sooo similar, with the tubing, etc. I got my bill for my 2010 Reign X, the price is correct. Oh- and it was 6.75 lbs!!!!!!!whoa! 32lb all coil no carbon 170 front and rear super play bike! 66/13.75 btw...
You can spend $2900 for a full carbon 5" Trance Advanced frame though.
The bikes are light/thin, but the tubing profiles with the hard angles on them making them squarish seems to give the tubes a less "tinny" feel/sound. It should help a bunch with denting too.

The dealer books with pricing hit the shops about 2 weeks ago, and from what the book says, $1600.00 is retail!!! I thought the same thing when I saw the book, that is down $600 from last year. I still think it is a typo and that is why I never posted anything... but get your orders in now.

If this is really the retail price on the frame I know what I am going to be on next year. that is crazy cheap.
yes you can press a standard 1.5 cup into the frame. No special cups required...from my initial knowledge. I will do some more research for you though.Rumour has it that King is making a 1.5 zero stack cup setup for these bikes as well....
I'll post the "I need to get time on the bike before Mammoth build"...the final build will be done next week.I heard it was 1600 USD !
Nate, stop teasing us... show the complete bike
Natedog can you comment on whether $1600 is a typo or not?
If $1600 is right, that means that Giant has deemed DH a valuable target market, either for crossover sales purposes or to aggressively pursue market share to boost retention.
No you can't! It comes with this headset though..Well at least i think it does. My Reign X (Pictured) came with an all internal, Zerostack/Zerostack 1.5 tapered headset and i used this FSA Orbit Extreme Pro 1.5R lower race to use my 1 1/8 fork. I assume the Glory will come with this headset but will include the 1 1/8 lower race. King is indeed making one too. The FSA headset that comes with it is top of the line with angular contact sealed bearings and grey ano.
More pics of my Reign X here

on that bike I would rather have some lower stack to slacken the head angle a bit.
I just checked with some sales people...$1600 is correect. With a DHX RC4...thats a good deal!
Did they happen to mention when it was coming out?!
Last time I talked to Giant, I was told that they are making a very limited number of Glory 00s at first and wont be out until Oct and that the Glory 01 won't be out until Nov. Limited like 10-30. Im pretty pissed because I already sold my bike and am now without a DH bike. They also said that they will not be offering the Glory at an EP price for a while.
Needless to say, I will turning to our other carrier "The Big S" for my new DH rig.....fycking giant....That's pretty sick. Maybe I'll tell my wife I need to order it now in preparation for next year
Frame should be ready to sale in the US around Oct. Got this from my Giant Rep. They are taking orders now.
