Thought I would start the thread on the 2013 Giant Glory.

I just rode a 2013 medium Glory at a local shop in SO Cal (Fullerton Bikes)

I own 2012 medium Glory

The longer wheelbase, bb, and longer TT def makes this ride ride lower with less of an active feel to the steering. I just did a street ride and a few curb jumps. The cockpit is noticably roomier and the steering does feel slower.

Can't wait to ride one on the dirt soon.

G is for Glory - Glory fans meet the 2013 Giant Glory- Slacker longer and lower for this DH beast. Rode this puppy at the parking lot of Fullerton Bikes Could def see the ponger wheel base and longer TT making a diffrence hit up Mike Franze if you need one of these bad boys

Some kid from Livermore with a couple buddies pulled up to a BBQ joint here in town and I noticed his Glory in the back of the truck... it was a 2013 Glory 0 sharp looking ride! I got to sit on it and damn it feels a lot better Yes I want that blue one the (2) Model. SEXY. Shop said they are ready for purchase this week. Yahoo.

My 2013 Glory frame S will arrive in the beginning of December

I am going to transplant all the parts from current bike except FSA Option headset, which will be no longer needed, which are/will be:
2012 Fox 36 Float 180 Kashima
Fox RC4 with Ti spring which is going to be replaced with CC DBair, I hope

Hope/DT/Dartmoor Raider wheels, which I plan to upgrade with WTB i23 hoops and Sapim CX Ray spokes
Sram X7 rear mech and shifter, which I want to replace with Zee components
Shimano XT finned brakes with IceTech rotors
Shimano Saint crankset w/ LG1+ device, XTR Trail pedals
Thomson seatpost, Pro stem, Easton Havoc CF h-bar
Maxxis Minion 3C Exo tires etc.
Complete build should be around 14,2-14,3kg (31,3-31,5lbs)

Yes, I am. And yes, that estimated/calculated weight with CC BDair and new wheels. And yes, again, size S

However, I did not take possible frame weight change (longer TT, etc) into consideration.
But, as my frame is just around the corner and I should get it within 10 days I will be able to post a pic od the frame on scale.

Thx! What size is it? Did you weigh it with axle, replaceable der hanger and pre-pressed angleset cups? Oh, BTW, the bike is pimped out now It's a shame, mine will look like a x-mas tree

Ive been riding my 2013 Glory for just over 2 months now. Way nicer than the old geo. Swapped out the rockshox for 2013 Fox and the X0 carbon cranks for Saint and renthal bars (not pictured)
