Ramones 1 would suit your budget but would be a wait. Something like a Combi DLX would also be under budget and available now. Although I went for an Altitude.

I had a Rock Lobster for a couple of years and was very happy with it. Nice colour too.

Have done. FWIW the Altitude 10 does look like a great bike and the reviews of it prove it lives up to the look. I have a 30 but wouldn't feel too robbed if I was riding a 10 instead.
