Have a look second hand if you are confident you can check the bike over well. Just an example, looks a bargain.

Aggressor 3 is ok at that budget, but you can probably get new for that price. A few years back I got an old model bike for £180.0

The dart 1 is one of the worst forks you can buy, I'd be way of buying secondhand bikes that started out cheap because they are likely to have been bought, used till everything beeds replacing and then replaced with a new bike.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Have you considered a Scott? For £450 you'd get a new Aspect 40, not the greatest spec in the world but a good lightish frame ripe for upgrading. Alternatively keep an eye out for a secondhand Scale, you may just pick one up within your budget. There still seem to be a few 2010 bikes for sale at reduced prices, but mostly in small or XL!0
