...one of these?

http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/bikes/model/glory.1/5337/37422/

Apparently a few are coming into the UK, so shoujld i get one? I should be able to get one at a couple hundred over trade price anyway, so it'll be cheapish, i'm hoping about £2500 full bike.

This is the only Glory shown on the uk site. The site you linked to was the USA.

Ahh, but the uk site isn't accurate, as a mate has something from giant that isn't on the uk site.

can't afford or justify the glory 00, and my mate has that one too.

For some reason I just don't like the look of the glory. Also it looks breakable unlike the old one.

Been riding it today, and tbh, its an absolute machine.. it's also real light at the back end.. (it's my mates bike)
