Hi

I am looking for a new hardtail MTB. I would like the bike to cost no more than £450. The are so many options and I don't know which one to choose. I have looked on Tredz. The bikes which looked quite good were

-Cube Aim SL 29 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
-Specialized Hardrock Disc SE 26 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
-Specialized Pitch Sport 650b Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
-Cube Aim Disc 27.5 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
-GT Avalanche Comp Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
-Specialized Rockhopper Sport 29 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
and last TREK MARLIN 7

Which one would you say is the best choice or would you recommend a different hardtail MTB for the price?

thanks in advance

Probably not going to help you but at that price range - they are all much of a muchness.

Have a look 2nd hand as well - loads of bike/spec 2nd hand - value is great.
 
I just built myself full sus bike for about £600, much of it on second hand parts. Its much better than I would have got buying new.

So I would buy parts and build something.

I had never built a bike before, but a hardtail would be even easier, Just use youtube for guides.

You get a custom built bike, with every part you have chosen, and a chance to make something one off :)
 
That sounds like a good idea Malt, not sure if I will be able to do that though.

What would you say about the TREK Marlin 7 29er vs Specialized Pitch Comp 2015 650b. Which one would you say is better option and what do you think of the 29er wheels

what is the 2014 MY I can't find it.

I mean 2014 model year. Rather than looking at 2015 bikes, look at last years models. They are usually reasonably discounted which means you can pick up a better spec than current models.
