What is a Cycle King shop, or did you mean cycling? Or is it just the name of the shop?
Ammaco - cack
Coyote - some models get almost (but not quite) to reasonable
Barracuda - cack
DBR - I belive this is a diamnondback sub brand?
KCP - never heard of
Falcon - Part of hawk i beleive, mostly cack with some just about OK's in the range
Diamondback - part of Raleigh, were good for a while, some models just about OK, some reasonable.
CBR - Claude Butler Racing, used to mean something, but now cack.
Cycle King the retail arm of Hawk/Professional Cycles. Basically, sub standard bikes. Even below Toys r Us quality. Just to clear one thing up, Falcon are a separate company from Hawk Cycles. they actually own the Claud Butler brand.
To the OP, I wouldn't believe that the bikes Cycle King sell are actually worth £500. They artificially inflate the RRp so they can do crazy half price or lower deals
last time I went for a look the staff wasn't very helpful thou. do a few £500 not many all seem a bit cack.
jus wondering what people thought currently looking on amazon seems that where 90% of my online shopping takes place these days.
nothing really gr8 on amazon.

tbh I have no idea really what im looking for
im looking for something decent for cheap say £250 max £300 depending on how well work pay
I want for that price
large frame
front and rear disc brakes
front suspension
26 or bigger wheels
people say get rockrider for £299.99 but that's to much really
It's not the makes that are important, it's the components.
All the ones you linked to are nasty (especially the Dawes) except the Kona, which is mediocre and nowhere near as good as the Rockrider for the same price.
