By the way the more I look at it the more I have decided to move 1 level up to the Ultegra Di2 drivetrain :)
Chain Gang in Jindalee and Bike Obsession in the city centre have hire bikes you can take out for a day/weekend/week. Not cheap hacks either - Fondriest at Chain Gang and Bianchi's at Bike Obsession.
Otherwise most will have floor bikes they'll allow you to take out for a test ride, all you need do is ask (and probably leave your credit card...)
