Either way, it seems like a huge waste of money to me. Dude must have ALOT of money lying around. Only things there that seem reasonable to me are ti spring, bars, stem, grips and of course tires
Maybe he works at a shop. If he does, its not even close to a waste of money.
I figured out a better cable routing option for the 2010 Glory....
You can be creative with how to mount both Brake and Der cable to the top of the down tube, some stick on cable guides work just fine (come with a lot of forks). The trick to route both cables on the non-drive side of the Maestro link as there is more space here and allows for normal movement without damaging both cables. There isn't enough room on the drive side. Check photos to make more sense of it all...
There you have it, now shuttling won't hinder your shifting or braking!
Looks sweet, I did something similar to my Reign X0. Im going to have to do that to my Glory when it shows up. Just called our Giant rep on Friday, My Glory isn't coming to me until the first week of April and I ordered it in September...oh well!

Nice work, could you share some pictures how the lines look higher on the frame? Thanks in advance.
where i live there are not any giant dealers locally theres a few things i'd like to know before i buy one. 65.5 degree head angle this doesn't seem slack enough but, figures like this can be very different to other 65.5 degree head angle bikes- how does it feel slack enough? What size would you recommend for someone 5.8 and would it be useful to put some protective tape on the downtube to prevent easy denting like the session maybe.
Great idea about the cable routing. Does that make the bike quieter? Because I noticed that the cables make quite a lot of noise when the suspension moves. On another note, I got my 350 lb spring and measured 29% sag in normal clothes. Should I trade it for a 300 lb or just wait until everything breaks in fully? I should probably put on what I wear for DH and measure it again though
