Here is my 09 Glory, bought last tuesday. I wanted a reign x1, but they weren't going to be in for many more months. Compared to my brakeless bmx and fixed gear, its a damn tank. With the pro-pedal off, and the hill pointing down though it is amazing. It also climbs pretty good, but then again I don't mind a hill or two. Weight? ahhh, I don't give a rats so yeah I don't know. If its heavy, go to the gym! Raaaaaah
