My friend is considering either of these two bikes. Ive told him that they are similar in the way they ride and that the glory has a little bit more travel, but that is about all i can tell him. Hes around 165 and rides local sb trails and the occasional race. He already has his parts speced out for the bikes so he is just looking at the frames. Any other info that i can relay him would help in his decision. Thanks in advanced.
