    Hi and welcome!

    First off you aint that tall or heavy in this game, so I am sure you will find something that suits. And for what you describe, an Xc bike or even hybrid will suffice. Hoss is for the big bruisers who like cliffs and stuff lol.

    700 is a good budget, so draw up a shortlist and go and see them. From what you say an XC bike sounds like a good bet - Specialized Rockhopper springs to mind, or GT Avalanche Expert.
