[#2005809]

Looking to blow my bonus on a big wheeled bouncy thing

The Turner Sultan seems to fit the bill but I can't find a demo anywhere & [as usual] I seem to be between sizes

Anyone know of any demo or hire bikes?

I'd suggest you're very unlikely to get a tester of such a niche bike, although i seem to recall Two Wheels cycles in the midlands got one in for somebody (but he was a very good customer of theirs). I bought a Salsa Big Mama and just had to bite the bullet, no testers anywhere.

Your best bet would be to find somebody off here who may have one and ask to have a go. There is one on here at least but that's the XXL size.

Chevin in Leeds may well have a Niner full suss for you to try, other than them 29ers are still pretty niche to get a test on, and full suss even more so.....

Silverfish had a medium demo sultan floating around their dealers for a while.

I had it out on test for a bit.
Nice bike but I think I might need a large and have been unable to get a test ride on one.

Edit.

seems Mr Tall was talking about me while I was typing

I'm 6'2" on an XL with inline post and 70mm stem. The fit is perfect although I was worried sizing up. The guide on the Turner website has been spot on for the two Turners I have owned ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I'm 6' and the medium felt a tad small if that's any help.
