I hope the reign X looses its funky downtube as well (preferrably with something put there to replace it of course).
Not sure about all these flowy bikes though. I can't belive how much some companys worry about looks. I suppose they're run by the kind of people who line up the logos on their tyres with the valve (if anyone here does that, then I truely feel for you).

There's actually a purpose for that, since it can help you match up the hole in the tube with something that might be stuck in your tire.

I was reading about that new bike. The DW-link guy is claiming that Giant ripped off his link and that the new Glory is basically a ripped off Sunday. Not to sure one way or the other but can't deny it's a good looking bike.

Truth is Giant can't do a suspension design that is unique to them anymore, the last one was the DH Team. For the NRS and AC line all they did was rip off/copy specialized's horst link and they got in trouble for it. So I wouldn't make DW sound like the bad guy since Giant does have a history of using suspension designs without permission. Anyone remember the great failure that was the VT series?

^^ BUT . . . there were a lot of two-short-link designs long before Weagle came out with the DW link (remember the KHS Dominatrax?). His patent is so specific about axle path and instant center that there can be a lot of other linkage designs floating about (no pun intended) that would not infringe on the DW Link.

I think it is a shame when companys have to start stealing ideas, I hadn't realized giant has already done this once.
