My bike was stolen so I need to get a new bike. I'm not a rich mofo like alot of ppl that post these and need a bike in the 1000 dollar range. I was wondering whether a Glory or a Kumicho would be nicer. I rode a Glory at Northstar and liked it alot but, forks suck. Never rode a Kumicho. I need somthing that can handle jumps and the glory did. So, anything on the Kumicho? Oh and the Glory i want to buy is a rental bike from NS so its beat to hell
