Specialized of any kind in that price range will be excellent.

For that price, don't go for full suspension, it will be shit still.

Similar sort of price range Adam. The Caldera I could do you at £600 and the Cindercone I could do at £520. Both unbeatable prices mate so let me know what you think. Got both in stock if you want to fly across sometime, I'd be happy to come in whenever so it doesn't have to be when i'm officially open. I'm nice like that
Doubt you'll find a better bike for the money either, looking at whats available from other people.

Also there best selling bike by a long way at the moment is the Blast Deluxe. It retails at £550 and is by far the best value all round hardtail at the money, comes with 9spd, lockout, Hayes discs etc all in a gorgeous black looks the nuts! Could do you one for £480. To be honest mate unless your going to get serious you don't need anything better, I've sold a few to people who thrash them at Gisburn Forest every week and there still going strong 6 months on without spending a thing.

Buy mine for 590

GT Moto.
Has about a grandsworth of parts on it and is easily usable for trails/light offroad/street use. Is singlespeed at the minute but you you could get gears on it for 30 quid easy
