Use the Plan a Ride feature on this site to generate a list of bike rental shops along the trail. Visit their website and/or contact them to find out what they offer to rent...then you can determine if anyone offers the "quality" of bike that you require. I've rented from the bike shop in Rocheport several times and have never been disappointed. I didn't rent for a multiday ride though, understanding that although they were good bikes, I didn't expect the fit to equal the Brooks saddle on the Trek or the Santana longbike.
