    Read the stickies at the top of the page. Good details abound on there, and also try a search. Anything more specific, then ask....

    i bought a claud butler d27 2008 for £380 and am very happy with it, couldnt find a bike with better specs for the price, plus it looks good

    GT Avalanche 1.0 Disc 2008 for 450£. Never heard bad words about it.

    For less money then the Scott Aspect 45 Disc 2008 has a very nice spec and only for £390.
    But that's only if you buy online, from lbs will be a bit more expensive and harder to find any 2008 modles.
