I am looking to buy an Orange 5 within the next couple of months, and have been to my LBS who is an orange dealer but was not overly impressed with their service. From anyones own experence can they reccomend a decent Orange Dealer in the London / Surrey / Hants area? :)

    I have gone through that list and been to a couple of them and been unimpressed, therefore I am looking for personal recommendations now!

    Try

    http://www.mountain-trax.com/ - they will lend you a demo bike for free

    or

    http://www.cycleworks.co.uk/about/guildford.asp - they will charge you aro £25 to demo but knock it off price if you buy

    I think i will definately give Mountain Trax a go, and I spoke to the LEatherhead branch of Cycleworks yesterday and they were very helpful i must admit. Cheers for that!

    Maybe a bit off-topic, but I had a similar experience when shopping around for my P7. I tried a London-based cycle shop, and they seemed genuinely uninterested in helping me with regards to sizing, possible alternatives, whether or not they had it in stock, etc.

    I went to Grafham Water (www.rutlandcycling.com) very helpful had a G3 and 5 in stock

    I'm now going for a G3 on the Cycle to Work Scheme.

    When HR get in gear, they're not processing the voucher request until after 20th June!

    I bought my Orange from http://www.bikeactive.com/

    Good, helpful service and I think they also do mail order.

    I went to Mountain Trax today, excellent service and very helpful. Ended up buying an Orange 5 SE, just have to wait for it to arrive now!
