Not sure what you are asking?

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

http://www.bikes2udirect.com/B4900.html ( should be a claud butler bike)

http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/kona-lan ... tAodi2MAEA ( looks like a bike a and I remember the brand)


ebay power seller
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dawes-XC-21-D ... vi-content ( seems okay trusted brand im told)

no idea what make this is


http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/mongoose ... 73257.html


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

cooldad

So £299.99 is too much, but up to £300 is OK? I'm confused.
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.
