New member looking for a new bike £300-500

Hey,

Im looking for a new hardtail for upto £500 maybe push a little more.
I used to ride a Zaskar GT that my stepdad left me, but it was recently stolen so looking to get something new.
Its main use would be for field riding and trails, but also as i live nearish the quantocks looking for a bike that can handle some downhill with comfort and grace. Been reading loads of reviews on this site, but all the ones in my price range that ive set my mind on are no longer available due to age.
Can any of you give any suggestions on either a full bike for that price, or frame and parts that i could amount for that sort of money.

Cheers Guys

Boardman Comp, a tad over your top end but worth it.

cheers, what sort of reputation do hybrids have for off roading, the bike itself and the tyres dont look as if theyd be the most stable for tackling downhill without breaking my coccyx.

ahh I must have got that one mixed up. Looks pretty nice and seems to have pretty good reviews. As long as its not like my last bike and can handle off roading Id be happy, the last one chucked me off countless times into hedges and gravel.

Thankyou

They can handle everything at coed y brenin in north wales with ease, so will definately be good for you.
