Cheers- I went and had a chat with the guys in the Clarence Street Cyclery, their view was that without a car to get there I was hosed, so I’ll try to get out to Manly Damn next weeekend with a rental.
You could also try calling cyclery Northside in Chatswood, they do demo rides... Think they're paid for but you can take the bike all day... I think. They'd know about rentals too. Or Cranks in Chatswood, they are normally helpful. Are you in Sydney now?
