kona blink, rocky mountain or marin rocky ridge

ejk71

After weeks of reading reviews posting on forums buying magazines and watching prices tumble i think i have narrowed my search for my new bike down to three.
I am looking for a great value all round hard tail that i can trail ride all day and eventually take down some more challenging single track i would be glad of any comments and advice


option one is the kindest to the pocket a Kona Blink at £579.99

I'd take the Marin, the fork is worth the difference.
