[#1757605]

who stocks them in the UK?
anyone got a bottlerocket and if si what do you think of it?

I am retiring my 2005 heckler and thinking of building a new bike for use in the alps and uplift days and can't decide which to go for either a new "beefed up" heckler or possibly a bottlerocket

unless anyone can suggest an alternative

thanks

I think 18 Bikes stock or can supply them - there was something on their twitter feed.

Bike shop in Surbiton has them as well although name escapes me. Depends where you are in the country though, Surbiton is just inside the M25 by Guildford. He had a couple of Coverts in when i spoke to them, not sure about bottlerockets tho.

They're very helpful. Ed is the guy that I dealt with there when I was looking at a Blindside recently. Dasnut got his TR450 from there too and that seems to be a fine ride ๐Ÿ˜€

If you go on the Surf Sales site, then you can look up your nearest local dealer. Jedi has a Bottle Rocket, could ask him how it is?

We do indeed now stock Transition, got a Covert, Bottlerocket and Double frame in at the moment but can get anything people want in.

Gooner, don't feel bad about not knowing about twitter, it's all Si on twitter from us, I have nothing to do with it (not my cup of tea as it were) and I'm far cooler (and younger) than him
