thing is when i look up giant glory DH 2008 this comes up http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bi ... tions_id=3

and the freeride 2008 is http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bi ... tions_id=2

it appears the bike in the pick is a free ride, the lad is saying he bought it from a shop with boxers on :?:

Did the DH rigs come in another colour? even so it still looks like the freeride frame, if any of you guys know your stuff could you offer advice,

cheers
scott

    Basically the Zero came out as a cheaper alternative the the popular race wining DH...the travel was nearly identical in the rear but the Zero was offered with a single crown fork. It was more FR orientated but was also a capable DH bike. I guess the current owner had the Boxxers put on (he may have had a custom build as the frame was available bare) or he bought it second hand.

    Tops it worth £800 as you see the DH's on ebay for £900 upwards.
