I'm going to be getting myself a new mountain bike in the next couple of days but am a bit stuck on what to get.

My budget is no more than 500/550 quid.

I've been looking at a GT Avalanche. My mate has one and he swears by it but I've seen it get fairly mixed/rubbish reviews online.

Also been looking at a Sunn bikes, particularly the Travis model but I've never heard of them. I read a review where someone called them "the French equivalent of Raleigh" which put me off a bit !

Also the Kona Nunu looks quite nice.

I'll be mainly using it for getting to work during the summer but also a bit of woodland trails riding and the occasional jump so need it to be fairly robust.

Any ideas or help would be great
 
I reckon I'm gonna take the plunge and go for the Marin Bolinas Ridge. It's a name I've heard of, they seem to get consistent reviews and the geometry and components seem pretty much spot on for what I need it for. Oh and it looks purrrty too ! Cheers for your help guys
