    This is a great bike, £405 delivered on a sale price. It would be my choice by far. Is it in your size on the drop down option?

    Yes, its good value, I know one rider who loves his!

    I'd nip down to a dealer, and get sized up or even test it - without sitting on a bike its hard to tell exactly what size you need.

    Yes, I've only spent half-a-day on a Fisher hardtail a notch or two up for that one, but was seriously impressed with it - it rode very supple for an alu bike.

    I think that looks a very good deal, if you're getting it for £400.
