Why when the prototype looked so good in blue, does the production model look so crap, even the black fox 40s somehow manage to look cheap, I know everyone is going to say it doesn't matter its the same bike, but given a choice i know which my 5k would go on.

The silver one looks quite good in the flesh, I prefer it to the old blue and white one. It's a lot lighter too.

5 grand??  I thought people only bought Giant Glory's cheap in the sale to get a cheap set of 40's and a full saint groupset, and then sold the frame on ebay.

That wont be happening anymore you can get a V10 for 4.6or a 303rdh for the same

The second one is the colour scheme giant have been using on their race orientaed models for years and I rather like it.
