Yeh the rockhoppers are a good buy. If you can afford it try to get a stumpjumper. Ive got a stumpjumper which is a few years old now but its superb. The new ones are even better.

Specialised are pretty much all you'll need for most daily cycling - get a Hardrock for a good entry level bike.
I was looking at a CB Olympus as I was offered one with a good discount, but I spent the money on alcohol and dancing girls instead

bikes only worth 400 IMHO unless the frame is particularly light

Do you need disks - if you were to get a bike with V-Brakes on it you would have a better drivetrain and in particular - cranks. Also, no point going anyhwere near a bike with disks unless they are full hydraulic.

true cable disks need alot of bedding in. disks are easyer off road imo, however the new style V brakes are V strong. its hard to find a good bike with desent drive tain/ rear mech that doesnt have disks. as with the cape wrath, the disk brake version had better mech
am more than likey going to go for a non disk version, and put hydrolic brakes on

yes. discs are so much better than rim brakes agree on teh hydraulic requirement though
