Don't know how your Aus $ compares to the US but those sunday's are dirt cheap right now. Framesets at $1500 US. That'd be mint I reckon, just get some spare rebuild kits for it before they are all sold out.

On the other hand, I've never heard a negative comment about the DHR. Handling is spot on and a snappy bike. Just hear about them cracking all the time, however I think that was the pre 2008 frames.

Either one would be a nice ride.

Sunday would be brand new. What's your feeling on them?

Turner apparently has a legit warranty program, even if your not the original owner. Will re-weld cracks and paint it for couple hundred bucks if you crack it.

would agree that a sunday would work well, only thing is it probably won't be much-any better than your glory and the company is done so should it crack you are f**ked. you can get a M3 for less than that turner, also used. i know it seems like i'm pushing intense but i'm just pushing virtual pivot systems, i'm a true believer that nothing compares to maestro/vpp/dw
