Long story short - My wife has given me a present of a few days in Morzine this weekend with the lads for my 40th Birthday. Yayy!
Unfortunately I don't have access to my own bike due to being away from home, so I will need to rent one.
So anyone know of any good places to hire from and possible costs? I would be looking for something All Mountain like an Orange 5 or Alpine.
Thanks!
A couple of the guys in our group hired Spicies from the shop in the centre by the tourist office. Nice bikes, wasn't cheap, though, something like 80 euros a day.
yeah 70-80 euros a day, and they will be in sh*t order so beat the shop you rent them from to make sure the bike works.
aye, there's loads of places to hire from, les gets has a few rental places as well. 80 euros for a play bike, 100+ for a dh bike, although being lots of competition you may be able to haggle them down a bit
Torico are excellent - have a decent range of Orange bikes - Alpine 160 is €75/day. Much recommended - no affiliation, just a happy customer.

There was a shop at the bottom of the Pleny(sp?) lift that was hiring Santa Cru's for 80/90 euro and they looked in good nick that was last week ?
I used Alpine Sport. Got GT Sanction for 3 days and a Fury for one day. Both bikes well specced and in good condition - Saint, Fox RC36 RC2's (Boxxers on the Fury) etc.
Lever travel on one brake was varying a bit on the Sanction one day and they bled the brakes for me whilst I had lunch and all was well again. Not cheap at 70/80 Euro a day but heck, if it was your own bike you might still be spending out on pads and a new set of tyres which wouldn't be cheap but is treated as their problem not yours.
All very civilised, I'd use then again - and they have a nice shop pooch!
Thanks for the help all! Guessed that would be the kind of price I would be looking at.
Torico's a good shop in a town with lots of dodgy shops

Baud Sport - actually the best shop in morzine for helpfulness, not cheap but normally have what you need and dole out the advice. Often got english or antipodean mechanics on tap and a few milfs running the tills..
