Not sure if they rent out the expensive models. I'm in a beach town and most of the rentals are those stupid beach cruisers.
That guy tried to sell me a pink bike last night!
I told him I'd rather ride a Hello Kitty bike than be caught dead on something like that! It was god awful Fugly too.
He was showing me some with disc brakes. One with 'brake pads' and another with hydraulic disc brakes. What's the deal with that? Good? Bad? one more thing to go wrong? Maintenance whore? What about if they get wet and I need to stop? He says "on a dime" then I asked if oil got on it, said the same.
That Sedona model had gear shifters that were 'part of' the handlebars. Meaning it was "wrapped around" it at the end of the grips and you 'twist' them. 21 gear cassette. I think he said Giant starts with 21 gears which is fine by me. I'm using 18 now. All internal workings on the shifters were plastic. He says no one makes metal internal workings anymore. But he boasted how the cables (inside the casing) were metal. Gee, really? eesh.
