okay, following on from my thread the other day :

I have found that the Ridgeback is now out of production but there should be a 2010 variation available in the spring, spec not yet confirmed but cost likely to be closer to £600.

I can stretch the budget up to £600 or at a push £700, which brings in the Cannondale Bad Boy :

at the top of my scale, but I could also go for something like a basic Rockhopper or Genesis Core 10, both of which have a similar spec to the 'Dale, albeit with cheapo suspension fork which I really don't need.

At the moment the Genesis seems to be taking the biscuit, on value/spec : http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bike/core_10 , but is there something else out there I am overloooking.

Cheers
