Glad to see you've spent the money  Theres nothing worse than cheap bikes. I had an Apollo from my mate. It was shite, the bearings collapsed after 3 months.
I spent £300 on a Mongoose Tyax Elite at christmas, still rides like brand new.

Don't get full suspension or anything with disk brakes. Most of the stuff these days is cheap junk...

£800 will get you a shit hot 2nd hand cross country/hard tail. I paid £300 for a 2nd hand (used twice! and cost £600 new) '06 Kona Cindercone with Hayes hydralic discs, Marzocchi forks etc. Depends what you want, I wanted to do light xc off road and riding down sea front/to my Dad's etc so this is fine.
Alex - do an ebay search for kona Cindercone, Explosif, Kula etc - all good bikes.

i'm looking for a 2nd hand bike to use to get to football on and the odd trip to the shops. Anyone got one going? Needs to be reliable and withstand a fair amount of punishment
