Ellsworth availability in UK

[Fleagle]

I'm looking for Ellsworth dealers in UK. Their website
http://www.ellsworthbicycles.com only lists Freeborn in Horsham. I
understand Freeborn supplies other dealers, but can't find details of any
apart from Brixton Cycles (through a Google search). Unfortunately I need
something further north (I'm near York). I would like to try a Truth before
deciding if to fork out for a Santa Cruz Blur. London and Horsham aren't
out of the question, just not very convenient for us northern sorts!

Cheers, Dave

Chelmer Cycles in Chelmsford (I know, its no better than london for
your purposes!) state in magazine adds that they sell ellsworth. no
website tho'
If you do come down in Horsham direction bring a bike and try the
trails on the north and south downs

Why don't you try phoning Freeborn to see if there are any northern
stores that they distribute to?

Sent them an email last night but just noticed they're open Sundays from
11am. Will call them soon. Would like to go out somewhere today, hence the
posting last night.

Sunday opening eh? We still have half day Wednesdays round here!

Cheers guys, Dave

Thanks for the replies guys. After a very fruitful half hour conversation
with Dean at Freeborn it looks like a trip to Horsham is in order.

Regards, Dave

Buy something else as Ellsworth has some durability issues with the
Truth (among other models) and the company is owned and run by an
unethical egomaniacal liar.

Turner 5 Spot might be a decent alternative (four bar) if you can find
one to test ride.
