Sub œ500 XC hardtail

Looking for a bike for my brother, looked at the Specializeds. I just wondered if there was any lesser known bike companies which will have a good spec for the money?

Cheers

I've recently been looking at some of the b1's and Viper's on crc, theyre dirt cheap for the kit you get on them, could be worth a look, this GT doesnt look bad either http://http://www.chainreactioncycles.c ... elID=15126

Its all about Les Gets 2007 and the new RB!!!

I'd say hardrock is best one to go for

XTC or Hardrock, XTC is more based around XC, while the Hardrock (from what I've seen) can take more of a pounding.
