The rental was what I was resigned to. That said, I really didn't like the last Remedy I rode, and it's a lot of cash. Doesn't help me for the next day, either.
I wasn't really expecting a response in the first place, but I've always wanted to try a Stanton and I'd be really very keen!
You’re welcome to take it for the weekend, it’ll easily take the blues at BPW and if done Viscous Valley, Wibbly Wobbly and Hot Stepper/Surfin Bird Reds on it.
You can rent Bird full sus bikes at Cwmcarn but I don’t think you can take them offsite

Ridden some reds there on it but I suppose to get the most out of BPW a bit of squidge is no bad thing.
Just rent one of their Trek Remedy fleet?
