Anyone know where (if?) I can demo one of these? Not sure on sizing (hence, wanting a demo), but probably a 56.

There’s a shop in central Manchester that keeps the full range of Surly bikes in.

Try EDS bikes in Scarborough. They keep a pretty massive range of Surlys in stock.

+1 for Keep Pedalling in Manchester

They’ve got the full range of Surly, built me an Ogre with Rohloff. Rich and Shona are both knowledge and lovely people to deal with.

Cheers chaps.

Bought my disc trucker from Keep Pedalling. I had a test ride of a long haul trucker, as disc truckers weren’t in the country at the time. Had 15 minutes or so round the local streets, I could’ve had longer if I wanted. Good friendly service too.

Headfirst – How are you finding it? Doesn’t seem to be that many real world reports on it.
