A friend's in the market for a hard tail. No preference on wheel size. He's just after a good all round hard tail. Not too racey or too hardcore. Any bike recommendations or good deals around?
Thanks
Can't beat these especially the last one - onone always the best for value for money

Wot he said ^ Deore On-One's are a great deal.
New or nearly new?
Bought this a few months back, really happy with it. Got really high scores on BikeRadar when it came out too. SLX/Deore mix, steel frame, haven't looked back...

The Voodoo Wanga is a great bike for the price, Not sure if there are any left in stock.
Halfords are always a good option for under a grand, their stock levels seem to be a bit up and down just now mind but Voodoo and Boardman kill most of hte competition.
On-One? Best value? Yeah, maybe best value for some rusty scaffolding in the shape of a bike.
That Genesis is decent but if you google for a Genesis Core 26.5 I think you can still get one if you're not too lanky and it has an awesome spec with a Reba, Deore brakes etc for <£900 and is 25lbs, a whole 10 less than any On-One.
Cube ltd, virus one from crc or the pinnacle ramin3 from Evans if they have one left to fit him.

Obvious troll is....
I built a C456 from spares and some new/second hand XT bits for that price. I've only had it a few months but I reckon it would fit your mate's criteria nicely. Its also really quite light which is nice.
Chain reaction have Kona Kahuna deluxe for 700 quid they look really good .Sell the wheels on it and buy some hoops and you have a good bike.
My Whyte 805 is a good all rounder, use it for commuting as well as single track. Cost me £900 new from LBS.
Great, thanks for the info
