Thats a pretty solid @$$ bike....i put on my new Dorado Pro today!
Yup, I checked. The front wheel is about 1 inch off the ground. No other part of the bike in contact with the stand either.
not too shabby...i've got nothing "titanium" or "carbon".
40lb post! DH/FR Rigs around the 40lb mark! tips, pics, specs

- Start date
MattMatt, were those pedals the BlackOp's pedals that you nuked. If so how did you like them and how were the holding up prior to nuke or rama?
Given the 32lb Carbon V10 over in the Carbon V10 thread, you guys are going to have to start a new thread for sub-30 lb DH bikes.... 
This is my new bike. Bolted together with a load of parts moved across from my 303R where those bits fitted. Even with the budget parts, it came out at 39lb's.
Initial Impressions -
- Short TT, long WB - gives it this combination of being really manouverable but yet super stable.
- Slack headangle not an issue. I'm running it at 63 degrees at the moment, and I don't think I'll need to change it.
- Sprints well, and carries speed really well.
- Well thought out, well put together frame - really nice. And Lifetime warranty is a total bonus.
Need way more time on the bike to tell though!

Could be the first old style glory I've seen under 40lbs. Apart from the ultra light and noodle strong ztr flow rims what did you do to drop so much weight?My Glory Team ready for the 2011 season.
38,39lbs
Parts list please.
haha actually stopped riding from 2007-2010 so I guess I wasn't around. Anyway, what parts helped drop the weight to sub 40lbs, but still held up to abuse? It's easy to put a stupid light wheelset on and run single ply tires, but that won't last long.
Yes, I have a glory and really like it, but I'm on the fence about spending money to drop weight or sell it and spend the money towards a new glory.
