    Hi All

    I live in Nidderdale nr Ripon and as such have no Commencal dealer near me since JD in Ilkley stopped doing them.

    I have a 2007 meta in XL, and while I love the long wheel base I hate the high top tube, lack of stand over with a passion. So am torn between going XL and L, as I’m right on the boundry in terms of height.

    So I’m wondering if anyone in the rough area, 1 hrs drive or so, (skipton, North Leeds, North Bradford, Harrogate, Ripon, Bedale, Wharefdale etc) might have one in L or XL I could sit on and ride up and down their street to get a feel for the size.

    If no-one in this area anyone just outside would also be very much appreceiated (bottle of nice wine by way of gratitude included 😀 )

    Probably wouldn’t be a for a couple of weeks but beginning to look at my new bike options more seriously.

    Ta

    Unk.

    Order both form CRC, ship the other back? Saves hassle.

    I might be being a fool but that seems like more hassle to me…

    But I’ll bear it mind, as I hadn’t thought of it previously and it may be the only way

    Seesm like a lot of grief, but it might be cheaper and less hassle to use one of those collect & ship couriers than doing all the driving around (and the bottle of wine)

    Hmmm, maybe, Wine’s no bother, always a few nice bottles in, and only really looking for people nearby.

    Also I’m considering just buying frame and bits seperately… which would rule that out, unless I sent both back…
