    Have a good read round the Buying Advice forum to start with. Also have a look at the "what bike and what size" sticky.

    For starters it sounds like you'll be going for a hardtail and £700 will get you a great bike.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
