2018 Giant Glory Advance 1, medium frame. More details can be found here: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/gb/glory-advanced-1-2018 This was the range topping carbon front triangle DH bike from Giant, in fact it’s not changed in 2020. Incredible bike, so much better than the Trek Session and Scott Gambler I demo’d when looking for a DH bike. I call it my talent compensator as it’s given me an ability to take on riding I’d have only dreamed about before owning this bike. Bought new from a Giant dealer in August 2018 I almost immediately upgraded the wheels to the Hope DH wheelset. I’m including the original Giant P-AM2 wheelset with the sale but the Hope wheels are fitted. I only did 3 rides on the Giant wheels and to be fair they were really good, but I did manage to ding the rear rim in that short time. See pics. I think it could be “persuaded” straight again, I’ve just never bothered trying as I’ve had the Hope wheels. Dispite the ding the wheel still held air perfectly on a tubeless set up! Rims are taped for tubeless so can run tubeless or with a tube. The Hope wheels are tubeless btw and have a burly set of WTB Convict 2.5” tyres fitted. I’ve found these tyres to be really good. I’ve also upgrade the cranks and BB to Saint (165mm) from the Zees it came with. BB is also the gold Saint BB. English threaded BB!! Another reason I chose the Giant!! The saddle is a 180g Selle Italia SLR. Saves a few grams and you hardly sit on it anyway. The Giant saddle one of the few things I didn’t like. It’s been used for 8 days in Morzine and a handful of UK bike park uplift days. So it’s in really nice working order, but does obviously have a few scuffs and signs of use like any used mountain bike. But as you can see from the pics it’s still in great condition. The Fox shock was fully serviced by TF Tuned in November 2019 and has been used for 1 day at Bike Park Wales in February since then (thanks lockdown). As you can imagine it’s performing fantastically, arguably better than when it was new. It’s having a full gear and brake service this week so it’s minty for the new owner, just because it’s been sat redundant in my garage for so long due to lockdown etc, not because it’s worn out! The Fox 40 forks are amazing and the performance of the whole bike is incredible. It needs an uplift (or ideally chairlift) but it’ll inspire such confidence on anything pointing downhill. I rode my son’s 170mm enduro for a bit in Morzine and nothing touches the confidence of a proper DH bike. Unfortunately my van needs some unexpected repairs so whilst I’d love to keep this, I’m reluctantly selling it. Strava says the bike has done 866 miles, but a significant proportion of those will have been on an uplift trailer or chairlift. It really is pretty low mileage. Not sure why but I’d never really fancied a Giant mtb before, but my experience with this bike really changed my view on Giant bikes. I think it looks stunning, but it’s the performance that ’s really surprised and impressed me. Pedals are not included in the sale and will be removed. I haven’t listed out the entire spec as it’s pretty much stock apart from the upgrades I’ve mentioned. If I’ve missed anything or you have any questions, please ask. I'm 5'9" and love the fit of it. Feels nicer and more playful than a "long slack and low" enduro bike I recently sold (which had a 470mm reach). Open to sensible offers, but would rather keep it that let it go for peanuts. It’s a £4.5k bike with upgraded Hope wheels and Saint cranks. I’m based near Maidstone and would prefer bank transfer on collection (or PayPal but we’d have to factor fees into any offer), but might be able to deliver depending on your location. PM me and we can suss out what’s practical. Thanks, Damian.

Not sure if I can link my ebay listing on PB so if it's against the rules let me know and I'll delete the ad. Couldn't find that it wasn't allowed but equally can't find others linking eBay ads. Link below: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143650843865 Full description in the listing but in summary it's in fantastic condition. 2020 Specialized Turbo Kenevo Comp in size S3 (medium effectively). Sold out until March 2021. Stock spec except for a second 500WH battery (rrp of £800) included in sale. Also a pair of DMR V12 pedals. It's an auction with a starting price of £4499 inviting offers above that to tempt me to end the auction early, but for Pink Bike users I'd accept an offer of £4499 collected (from near Maidstone, Kent). Just send me an offer on the ebay listing and I'll accept it. PayPal is fine. Any questions, please ask. Thanks, Damian.
