Ideal if you are in Europe for a longer trip and only require a bike for a short period of time.
The Scott CR1 Team offers the perfect balance of performance and comfort. Designed to save the rider from shock and vibration created by rough roads, the CR1 is the ideal choice for the enthusiast or racer who wants to enjoy long rides but doesn’t want to feel beat up at the end of the day. The shock damping is so effective that it has even helped racers in the pro peloton tame the dreaded cobbles of Paris-Roubaix

Deanna Soon and Jeffrey Adam hired bikes for the Tour of Flanders trip having flown in straight from Singapore - without any sleep (ouch). "Excellent value, would do the hire again, so much easier," Jeff told us.
Another happy hire cyclist, this time from Lancashire's Ribble Valley Cycling & Racing Club R. Lofthouse London N16: "Sports Tours saved my Paris-Roubaix challenge attempt by lending me one of their 'for hire' bikes, following a terminal problem with the frame of my own race bike.Initially I assumed it wouldn't fit right or would have some other niggle, but actually the sizing was worked out by a pro mechanic and exactly aped my normal ride. "We transferred my computer, saddle and pedals across, and the bike was perfect from beginning to end. In fact it was bloody fast and properly light too - you couldn't fault it.
On reflection, I cannot imagine going off to a foreign sportive and not seriously considering borrowing a bike from Sports Tours. It saves a momentous amount of transportation hassle and gets you straight to the start line. "Once you're done, the bike's gone and all the headaches of getting it home again. I never thought I'd say this! I also liked riding a new bike too - it was a brilliant way of sampling a different brand without any commitment to buy it. You just have to get your measurements sorted out before you fly, so don't forget to keep a tape measure around."
