are you not limiting your market by only MTB specific….why not road bikes…coffee & cake, advertise in local roadie clubs and they may use you as a cake stop and come back and buy a bike
I preferred the Bronson to the Solo. Didn’t feel confident in the front end which is more likely to be the fork than the frame. The guy said it would be better with a 140 revelation …not sure why they hadn’t built it with a set on?! He said it is a bit scitty but you have to ride it harder and push through that, not for me despite it being my first choice on paper.
I only test rode 650b bikes and I felt the Bronson and Carbine 275 were the best bikes closely followed by the Scott Genius.
The carbine and Bronson both use the same VPP system so for me with the Warranty on SC the Bronson has it.
us ukcampsite.co.uk use mapsearch and read the reviews and look at the number of reviews.
I found a good tip is to go on http://www.eurocampindependent.co.uk/ find a campsite you like, check out reviews on uk campsite and then book direct with campsite
My bikes are all 26″, a lot of guys in the 2 clubs I ride with have moved onto 29″ and seem to be faster than they were on 26″.
So really looking to stay with the pack really. I did think I may look like a kid on an adults bike but as its been stated a lot of the national women do ok on them.
Had considered 650b but was concerned I may buy a betamax when I should of had a VHS!
