I am after a hardtail for a mix or road and xc, probably 30/70 mix.

I haven't owned a bike for 15 years

I weigh 17 st + am 5'10

I'd like to know the pros and cons of the bikes I am considering at the moment. These are

Specialized hardrock sport disc 2010 – £400
Mongoose Tyax super - £391
Specialized hardrock pro 09 - £490 (if I can still get one. the 2010 is too expensive)
GT avalanche 2.0 disc - £500

budget max is £500 but I'd prefer to be nearer £400

Are there any others I shoudl be considering? (I am limited to shops working with cyclescheme.co.uk nr manchester)

thanks for any help
