I have been hunting for my next bike over the last month or so and have been well impressed by Mountain Trax near Swinley. Ive now test ridden about 8 mountain bikes that were possible choices and with their help have worked out exactly the nature/type of bike I want next. If you re looking into a new bike it’s a great starting point, for 30 quid you get to ride any in their fleet of demos over a month, refunded if you buy a bike. I haven’t found another shop in the south east offering such a good service.

… And no I am not on commission and no I don’t work for them. I just wanted to commend this service and shop and if you’re looking at a number of bikes this will help you out!

Pah, coming on here with helpful, unbiased and useful advice!

It’ll never catch on…

Seconded, good bunch of lads in there.

Thirded. Excellent shop. 8)

Wwaswas – agree, a few posts and then it will vanish to the bottom of the list. But I like to compliment when it’s due, too much whinging on here – gasp shock horror! :-).

Fourthed – took out a couple of bikes there 3 or 4 years ago when a mate was after a new bike. First and only time I have ridden a Five and was completely underwhelmed! Loved the Blur LTC though!

Agree with this.They got me the blur xc for a test ride and could take it away for the whole weekend.My nearest bike shop(i won’t name them),are reluctant to even let you out of the car park for a “test ride”.

i am about to test the Yeti SB66 and a Tall Boy with them, most excited I am too.

Bloke on the phone couldn’t have been more helpful…really looking forward to visiting the shop.

and you still haven’t found the perfect bike 😉

Martinh, I think I have but I like to be sure before splashing the cash!

I hate them, far too friendly, too many shiny things and they keep taking my money!

I bought my Whyte 19 frame & build from Mountain Trax. Can’t praise them enough, fab service.

…. god, and what a shop. I could spend a fortune in there!!!

I’ll add to this. Bought through thema few years ago and was very impressed – great bunch who love what they do and it shows. I’ve spent hours in there boring them stupid with silly questions about tyre choice etc. Most of my mates have bought through them also now, next time I can afford and justify a new bike that’s where I’ll be going.

…. god, and what a shop. I could spend a fortune in there!!!

I have!

Agreed. Bought my Superlight off them after numerous test rides. Excellent service.
