Guy Kesteven was very positive about it 🙂
That carbon Pace looks great value too, if a bit of an unknown.
I can concur with your thoughts on the Rallon, I demoed one and whilst for reach I'd need a large (at 5'10") the top tube felt very high. On the flip side it was a fast bike and felt a lot better on the flats and ups than a 170/160 bike has any right to.
Also agree with Chapa, if you are looking at an Orange demo one. I have owned 2 FS Oranges in the past (222 and a 2016 Five) and both felt as though they skipped over bumps rather than ploughing through.
If you are looking at a Hightower, the lower link SCs are great. I'd agree with contacting them (or having the frame owner do so) to see if they would register the frame against your name. They use the frame number as the point of reference. Ex demo bikes can usually be registered against the 'new' owner.
