[Closed] transition bottlerockets

I phoned Surf Sales about the Bottle Rockets as I really like the look of them and the company. They put me in touch with a local dealer that had just started to sell Transition bikes. Asked if I could see one and have a ride. They didn't do that sort of thing, so I asked if Surf Sales had one and to get in touch. Not heard a thing from them.
Bought an Intense Slopestyle instead! Extra were very helpful in that respect.

you'll find a lot on the transition forum on mtbr, I like them a lot too.

That's pretty poor. They should have a demo bike. We're a Transition dealer now and I-Cycles in Innerleithen now their stuff and have one in action I believe.

Fantastic stuff.

I tested one at the laggan demo day. Despite being slightly too small for me, it was great fun.
One of the most used bikes over the weekend too.
Not sure about the 90s public toilets flecked paint jobs though.

orange blood?

Rode one last night and if I could afford it I would get one - especially after my off tonight.

Been ridings a covert, and its the best bike ive ever ridden, totally perfect bike, now looking at every trail in a new light trying to jump off everything and it still rides back up again like a hardtail.

Oh yeah Orange Blood - **** off they are shite. wallowy piece of crap.

i had an original preston - the 4" one, which was basically a bottlerocket before the bottlerocket was. It was a great bike till it developed a crack (after 3 years of, frankly, abuse)

looked just like this

I reckon the new double would be a great UK bike

It looks quite slack-angled?

18bikes are just about to start doing Transition and have always been good at getting test bikes in.

hora - about right at 68.5 i think?

5labs just looks slack!

i have one and love it, only got a few riding pic's though. Mines industrial, no paint no stickers and chunky it looks like scaffold pipes but rides so good. Heavy though, but it rides pretty spritely especially downhill as its so easy to chuck it around.

Very nice looking frame. I'd struggle to ride own one as my one all does it all bike though- 15" seat tube.

Surf Sales have various demo bikes that can loaned to dealers. I tested a Blindside from Crosstrax in Leeds recently. They got it from Surf Sales and it took about a week for them to get it.

just got a bottlerocket demo in now, its mint, though the suspension was set up shit when it arrived.
