Giant Glory

Sir.Swish

Howdy!

Following the trend of buying bikes that are complete overkill



Having loads of travel and a laid back frame is a real confidence boost, and despite the weight I can really chuck it around the local trails


Fitted my charge saddle and changed the 36T Zee ring to a 34T blackspire

Very nice. I quite like them glory's, that rear suspension is just brilliant.
What do you mean about the weight? It's pretty light by downhill standards.

I once spent a while on an older Glory, felt leaden and horrible. The newer ones like this have much cleaner lines, much better. Any chance of some more detailed shots of it cleaned?

rockmonkeysc

Those old glory's were incredibly heave. My mates 2008 Glory weighed 48lb and it wasn't a particularly heavy build

They rode well though.

rockmonkeysc

No they didn't! They were too short and too steep.

ilovedirt

Not at the time.

rockmonkeysc

Even at the time. Even the Big Hit with the 24" rear wheel rode better.
