My Dad wants to get a new bike as his raliegh hybrid isn't good enough for mtbing, which i've managed to get him into. He doesn't do jumps, but i might be able to tempt him onto some small ones later on, and he doesn't have a massive budget, so i was thinking a 100mm ht would be good. He's 5ft 10, so probably needs a medium. So what's best out of these? any other suggestions?

Is the fury or boardman comp any good?
oh i just saw this - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165499
it looks really good value - only £150, and they reduced it from £410! It has lots of shiney things and it's cheap! i like it!
.... anyway, away from the bso's, which is better? the boardman or the fury?

The fury:

So the fury has better forks, a better rear mech and wider tyres
the boardman is lighter, cheaper, and has better brakes
What about GT's?

Why do people always say you need to spend £1000 for a FS bike, if you can get one for £150?!!
Exactly, and its reduced from £410, what a bargain.
Reduced from £410, if i believed that......... i'd believe pigs could fly! That bike was NEVER £410, sorry to burst your bubble mate!
