Just wanted to be different...don't copy me!! Can't wait to see your full build. Mine is 42.5 right now and when I put those wheels, with race tires, it will hover around 40ish

really? mine is 38 pounds and i still have stock wheels and hubs?

sorry to go against the grain here But Last year I rode one for 2 day's and found it a dead sailor in the air, and Not nearly as fast as other Bikes.. but as I say I only rode it 2 day's cause my Shite fox 40's blew up. on my demo

Ride whazt you like, But I've never been much a fan of giant bikes for Dh.
Or freeride.\

Ya thats nice!! Kinda pointless to say that with out giving me a break down of the spec.

Looks like your fork and bar are lighter, just wondering about those tires...single ply? You run tubes, what types?

Reguardless...I am thinking you scale might be broken. I mean you have stock cranks, wheels, headset, codes, full chainguide no ti spring.....where is this 38lbs comming from?

Agree with you on this one Arron... I had two different Glory's built up with full tubeless and light spec, and they were both in and around 40-42 pound, depending on the rear shock and tires (DHX Air / Coil), I would love to see a spec'd 38 pound Glory too....

I met someone that had a 38 pound Glory, but it was a 15" frame, with mavic 819 rims, boxxer WC, and every XC part you can imagine....
