COOOOOL.......
Yeah, they look almost identical. The older Faiths were so much better looking than the new ones... now they look like every other bike.
the faith is a compleatly differnt bike form the old one, it just so happend to be given the name faith, and i do admit it loooks alot like the glory but it has compleatly differnt geo, it kinda like the differnce between the demo 8 and 7
how could you possibly say the old faiths looked better, and it's normal for a frame manufacturers frames to look similar because usually they all use the same technology.
i think the new giants look sick especially the faith, much cleaner looking than the old ones

I'm not stupid, I know it's a Glory. I was saying it looks a lot like the new Faith, not the old one.
'how could you possibly say the old faiths looked better'. If you read a few comments up, you'll be able to see my say it again. Then if you read it again, I'll say it again.

ok nvm the frames are like the same for faith and glory, i didn't know they changed the frame of the 2010 glory, my bad ur right
sweet, i know about the price, i know there super light and fast, really stoked on getting mine (hopefully)

nnnnnno. why would they do that, their Giant, they own their own patent that works just as well if not better...and they run the fricken show. without them 70% of bikes wouldnt exist
dude, trek uses a 4 bar linkage with a floating shock, this has a ridged rear triangle w/o floating shock
and the old glory looked soo gooood. but i suppose you wont see much of it when your riding it. the people at giant who made this are clearly following the 'how ugly can we make our new products range' and seein if people still buy them.
or how can we shave 4lbs off the frame??? i think it looks nice, not a HUGE DH RIG, but still fully capable so why not,
woop woop neg props for pointing out the bikes an uggo. i just hate the way the rear triangle is almost bigger then the front, lapieere, mondraker, rage etc all make light bikes that still look pretty, and are smaller companies. tho specialized are huge too and the new big hit is also an uggo
Mazekwon, did you not notice the face the shock doesnt have that massive chunk of metal in the middle where the shock used to go through, and they just took off a bunch of excess material that made the bike overdone and overweight.
yeha i saw taht, i didn't like that on the old ones, something about your shock pertruding by your BB makes me seem uneasy for some reason

i wonder if they went back to using the blue 729s laced to the sunringle hubs. it was a terrible combo.
looks exactly like a session but thats because trek and giant share alot of their designs there also the only two brands that have bontrager components
where do you see bontrager parts on a giant? giant actually uses name brand parts to cut costs whereas Trek uses their own house company to cut costs. Giant would use a Mavic 729 rather than a 823 to cut costs, and Trek will put a Big Earl or something rim that must just be spanish for tacho
how is it a trek, that makes no sense at all, dude, trek uses a 4 bar linkage with a floating shock, this has a ridged rear triangle w/o floating shock. the only thing similar is that it mounts the shock vertically
sorry i got mixed up garry fisher and trek use bontrager
the session is a 4 bar linkage too only the swingarm is longer and there is a reinforcement where the toptube and seat tube meet the top tube also dips near the seatube junctoin and it looks like the giant has a tapered head tube and they both have alot of saint stuff

if u guys didn't know giant has been doing tapered headtubes for YEARS there were just never forks made for them. Then all of a sudden when trek does it everyone's like "wow".
