Hard-tail advice, if you will.

Hey there,
Basically I need a new hard-tail for getting fit again, will mainly be used for daily thrashes round the Forest of Dean. Nothing too massive, just a bit of offroad, and paths and the like.
My current budget is about 350 quid..and I've been looking at the Specialized Hardrock Disc..or something like that.
However, I can bounce my budget to 550 if I sell my iPhone.
So basically, what I want to know is, can you get way more bike for that extra 200 quid? and if so, any suggestions.
Don't want a full suspension, cus for that price they're meant to be craptastic aren't they?..I've already smashed one cheap one. :oops:
Cheers.

You can get way more than Hardrock for an extra 200 quid!
Have a read of the What Hardtail thread for some ideas. Also the Beginners sticky in that section for basic Q and A.
Then ask back!0 -
Had a look through that thread..(Don't know why I didn't before!)
Is the GT Avalanche 1.0 jobby much better than the Hardrock?
I had a Carrera Vulcan before, but managed to knacker the handlebars/thread thing so at speed, when you turned slightly, the bars turned and the wheel didn't. Mildly terrifying.0
