ok I can get this bike (slightly cheaper than here)

http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.p ... 1b0s2p4752

or the scott

or the rockrider

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-81 ... 68918.html

the guys in my bike shop say the scott bike is a very good bike and it is a 29er and they say it flies...

what do you guys think is best out of the above?

    Not great but no worse than the one on the Scott.

    well I am talking about the 'roads' on the IOW... some of which are so bad they might as well be offroad anyway. probably kill myself using a flimsy road bike on some of em.

    but spec wise then, how is the rockrider compared to the scott?

    Why don't you list the spec for each and compare. Consider it an education.
    You have a few threads going and seem to want a 'name'. You will get a better bike for the money from Halfords or Decathlon, as has been pointed out in all the threads.
    So choose, name or spec. Or increase your budget.
