Re: mountain bike advice

Perhaps consider the following

Iron Horse Warrior 3.0 2007 Mountain or Scott Aspect 45 2008 Mountain Bike. Or try looking for a bargin on ebay Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp

For £400 your probably looking at Avid Juicy Disc Breaks, Shimano Alivio/Altus Derailler or LX/Deore, Shocs i'm not up to date on - probably Rockshox Tora/Recon or Marocchi MX series.

Personally i got a Specialized Rockhopper Disc about 10 months ago, i have put it through a real beating and its never given me any problems, it's a great bike.

Happy Trails

edit - stay away from argos/cheap halfords brands.
