Just wondering if any shops or manufacturers are organising demos this next fortnight? Looking for a few hrs on a 140-150 29er.

That does limit your options to an Orange Alpine 5, Trek Remedy 29er or Intense Carbine.

Alpine Bikes have both the first two, I think you’ll need to pay for a demo though.

Though that’s 2 that you should definitely try, to be honest. Some manufacturers had bikes at the expo last year but I don’t know if there was actually demos or just displays.

My Rocky Mountain Instinct falls into that category as well. I think i-cycles in Innerleithen have one you could demo.

I think there’s quite a few bikes in that range rickon beyond the 3 you mention.

Cheers youngrob, I’ll give steve a shout

Edit: not in the Tweed though, unfortunately.
