So my question to you is, Glory frameset or Faith frameset? Glory already has the rear shock I want.

Thanks for your time,
Mike

I did get in a hurry and forgot to add details.

I have all the components. Shore and resort riding. No budget or weight concerns. I guess I was looking for pros/cons of either one. Glory 8 inches vs. Faith 7 inches. I dont know if there are any other issues I need to address, the geometry seems to be pretty much the same.

Thanks for your time

Both bikes weigh about the same, will handle 7" single crown or triple crown 8" forks without problems. Both have 83mmBB/150mm rear spacing.

The main difference is geometry,

Glory is for DH- Long, low, slack 65.5 degrees HA

Faith is for FR- short, not super slack-66.8 HA probably a little more pedalable if your trails require some climbs.

The geometry is quite different.
