sorry to gravedig but i have an opportunity to buy a used 2008 cove shocker or a used 2009 giant glory, and im having a really hard time deciding. oh and ill be buying frame only so the spec would be the same. i could also get an almost brand new 2009 kona stab frame for quite a bit less but im pretty sure i dont want one of those. if anybody could give me their thoughts that would be great.

since specs dont matter in this case go for the glory because it is newer and probably has less riding hours on it

im a bit of a fan of the new stab's. they look awesome and have a couple changes to them that are good....but of course i cant remember what they are.

if the stab is new, it comes with a warrente? sounds good to me if it dosent cost a ton more than the other 2 frames.

between the gaint and the cove, ide get the giant because like he said ^ its probably less beaten up.

i assume he would buy the kona used so the warranty would be void...Frown

hard to decide ?. both bikes are dope i ride a08 glory ur gona have to sit on both of them and see witch on feels better for u .
size them both up for the type of rideing ur gona do .if they are roughly in the same shape you are gona be buying for the name you like the best . the only draw back i found on the glory is the location of the rear shock its in a tight space (harder to ajust) but it looks badass unlike the kona which looks like somesort of machinery from world war 2. fuk it buy both!!!!!!!
