In a way, it comes off as incredible arrogant to overprice your bike like that. What the other dude said about 5500 rings so true. I'll go as far as to say the used market essentially ends at the 3500 mark, and anything above that better be packing one f*cking hell of a punch, custom graphics, or otherwise.

Your bike is a dream bike to me, without a doubt, but that price is absolutely outrageous.

Furthermore, I think PB actually has a rule against putting your bike "kinda" for sale. They've taken down many ads for it in the past. Either toss it up at a respectable price, as you wish to sell it, or take it down, as you're just going to make everyone think you're "that guy" in the meanwhile.

Sweet bike. Cheers.

And after looking through the spec and that ad, no, it's not even worth 5500. The fact you work in a shop and got a deal on most of the stuff, and now you're trying to ream someone the f*ck out with it, is actually really sad in my eyes, and why I warn people not to just blindly trust their LBS.

Oh, and no, retail would not be 10k. Not. Even. Close.

I rode this Glory DH for a while, never really got comfortable on it as I probably should have picked a Large instead of a Medium.

Nice man, it's looking good! 32 pounds with the double barrel isn't bad at all! One question...how do you like those loaded grips? They look interesting, I've always wanted to try a pair!

I like them but they wear out fast because they ate a soft compound. Of course that also adds to the comfort of them.

Thanks. I am enjoying the upgrades the former owner put on them. Out of everything, the rear shock is what I would upgrade first. It's starting to die.

Not surprising. You should be able to put a 7.875x2.25 shock back there to give it 6.7 inches of travel. If not, you should be looking for the stock eye-to-eye, which is 7.875x2.0. The reign rides really well with a coil shock. That aside, looks like you got a killer deal on that! Enjoy.
