def nice upgrade mate!

[B1KR BOI]

Thats one of the nicest Glory's i have ever seen mate! Good on ya! I would be very pleased if that was my steed! Couple of questions how do you rate the 721's compared to stock 729's, since they are lighter have you lost any strength in the process?

Braaap it!

Cheers,

Greg

Nice bike... Pitty it rides a like a fat prostitute after a pounder meal!

[k3n!f]

Nice bike. I'm not normally a fan of silver wheels but they look awesome with a black frame.

Any reason why you got rid of the Fox's?

Maybe because you've been a member for less than a month?

Nice bike, I love all the black.

Just felt like a change.

After feeling my bro's WC's I got some Teams, don't regret it at all.:D

[B1KR BOI]

Forgot to ask but whats the weight?

[Foggy]

Mate, that is a lovely bike!!!! I especially like how you have maintained a black and silver/grey colour scheme. Really makes the bike look like a 'whole piece,' as opposed to some bikes which have so many different coloured componentry on them that they look like they've just been slapped together from left overs. Again, very nice! - Mike.

Best looking glory I have ever seen :eek: . I now like glorys!

[Wake Jake]

Forgot to ask but whats the weight?

Not sure on weight but its about 19kg at the moment.

Looking at a Ti spring in the next few weeks;)

Thanks for all the comments I'm really happy with it.

[nickmann]

sweet as spec list:) how do you find the teams compared to any of the other model of boxxers if you have ridden them before? and do you find x0 much better than x9 if you've ridden it as well:) cheers
Nice Bike:)

I find the WC are more adjustable (air of course) and a little bit more plush but there's nothin really in it.

I went for the Teams because my bro has gone through 3 pairs of lowers and air hasnt proven itself to me yet;)

I find the X0 to be a little more crisp than the X9.

[thundergoose]

Looking good jake!! Loving the new spec list.

Thanks Jack.

Went riding today at Kinglake and it feels great.

Forks feel mint but will be better once they wear in.

Jeeze thats heavy for how good the spec is. Must be a heavy frame.

But the black boxxers definetly suit it.

I think it's just under 19 but ill get the scales out tomorrow night.

[jjperko]

Awesome glory. I also have questions.

How do you find flicking it around? Glorys I've picked up on shuttle trailers felt pretty heavy in the back end. I'm thinking of upgrading my 03 DH comp frame (thats right its still going strong) to a glory amongst other frames I'm interested in. Just interested in how it fairs as a pure race bike?

I find it fairly flickable because it's short top tube.

Yer it's mainly due to the axle. The stock axle is fairly heavy but can easy be changed to a lighter one.

Thats what I plan on doing in the near future.

Maybe look at getting the Orange 224 axle. Regan has one on the rear of his Glory.

He said its something like 67 grams!!!! :eek:

Looks really Nice Jake. Do you find the seat comfy?

Yeah I saw that thread a few weeks back and it got me thinking about doing it:p

I find the very comfy for what it is.

[matt.l]

Forks were great yesterday James, feel great.

Also lovin' the lower front end with the Funn br stem combo.

[Giantrider]

the teams make the glory look better than with the 40s

[24alpha]

Very nice forks Jake, you're making me want to go buy a pair! :D
I saw a set on an 07 Yakuza and they looked mint.

[top_dog]

I picked up a Norco Team Race axle, 03 model, the other day and I thought it was lighter than my 224 axle. Probably cheaper as well.

[mc_steez]

very nice the black paintjob looks sick

Rides like dream Grahame.

A pair on your Yakuza would look great.
