Mountain Bike under £400.00

Hi, can anyone please spec me a bike based on a budget of c.£400.00

I've looked online and there are loads of differing opinions, but would be nice to have the opinion of those who've purchased the items!.

I note there's £50 off online on Halfords at present, and have also perused Evans Cycles, amongst others.

I'm going to use generally for cycle paths and getting about the streets.

Might attempt the odd endo and wheelie if I'm feeling risque and wanting to recapture my youth!

Many thanks

Thanks mate, I did see this before, but it didn't seem too detailed.

Thanks!, had looked at those on the Evans site, so many in the mix!

Any love for any of these?:

The avalanche looks great value, but a bit small, I'm 6'1 and would want a 20-21'' frame

This looks a good price - does anyone know of this one?
