Hi, my GT Avalanche 1.0 mountain bike was recently stolen, i only want to spend around £300 on a new one, if that.. i have narrowed my search down to 3 bikes that seem ok (i don't need it to be amazing), i just need to know with the small price differences, which would be the best?

Carrera Vengeance Mountain Bike

Rockrider 5.3 Mountain Bike, White B'TWIN

I can get the Carrera Vengeance currently for £280 making it the cheaper of the 3.

If anyone could help that would be great.

thanks

James

    RR 5.3, damped forks sends it straight to the front, Hayes cable I find better than Tektro, it's also the lightest.
