Looking to get a MTB for £600 - £800.
Would be used for local trails, woods etc, nothing to severe DH wise.
After your opinions on what to go for.....
Any ideas would be great!
Cheers
New or used?
Decatholon have a FS Rockrider for £699 that the testers at WMB were very impressed with.
HT wise, Boardman seem to be a solid bet although an On One Inbred X5 at £799 is also a great bike.
Theres a fair few options within that budget and also a reasonable difference in specs too.
Do you want a hardtail or full suss? If its the latter you won't find a great deal within that budget other than the Decathlon one mentioned above.
If its a hardtail, Boardman are hard to beat on a local level or could look at options from Germany such as Canyon or Radon.
Second hand off here, with care, is by far the best way to a really good bike for that money.
Nice one for the posts - plenty to ponder. will do some research and no doubt be back with more questions!
Cheers

£600 posted with the wider bars or under budget with the WCS risers.
If it's not what you're after, it's along the lines of what I'd recommend. Steel hardtail, adjustable long travel bolt thru fork, short stem and wide bars.
The Halford's Carrera and Voodoo bike ranges shouldn't be underestimated.
I've got a Cove Handjob for sale, check via forum activity. I think it may suit your needs.

Hi there.
I have a Marin Palisades Trail (medium 17" frame), that i bought a month ago. See link - http://www.marin.co.uk/2012/bikepage.php?ModNo=12PT
Only ridden a couple of times, all on bridleways so nothing too taxing. Still looks brand new, and not a mark on it.
Just leaving my job so not going to have time to ride it anymore.
Paid £800 and open to offers if you're interested?
Cheers
