it's totally race ready, it's just got different geo to most bikes. you really dont need a super slack HT considering how wide bars are getting these days.

mine has never felt out of it's depth and it's been through some gnarly shit. (the proof is in the 2 fat dents in front of my BB)

my bet is manufacturing defect because I was just riding and it went boom
hopefuly they'll give me a new one with the warranty.

I went to my lbs to install the standard headset that came with my glory and apparently the crown race that was with the orbit option isn't suitable with the standard headset. I don't know why the headset came without a crown race, just the cups and bearings.

Does anyone know where I could get a suitable crown race? Contact giant maybe? The bike shop I got the glory from said they can not get hold of the necessary parts.
