no he is being facetious. and i doubt they made a STP dually, as the stp sales are down and not being released for next couple years in lots of countries
 
too true. i have not heard anything about an stp duallie. if they are making one i see it as a last ditch effort to save their dj/street line, which they will fail to do with their outdated technology. giant should stick to what theyre good at; downhill, freeride and AM

well that my two cents on this

Well if you were to look at a 2011 stp and a 2011 glory they do look alot alike
 
i dont see a resemblance. one has straight tubing, one has hydraformed tubing, which means they arent even made using the same machine. and the inside diameters will be completely different. the geometry will be very different too.

you must realise looks mean absolutely nothing. the inside diameters, butting and tube shape is completely different in those bikes

They are both hydroformed?
 
that could be the case as i was mostly guessing, but it does not say on giants website that it is hydraformed and it looks to me like theres only tapered tubing which could be made without hydraforming (like the dobermann pinsher seatstay)
either way, they are 2 very different frames
