My Carrera Kraken. It wasn't very good but it got me mountain biking, then it was a parts mule for the next bike, then some of the parts went off to mates' bikes, and now I built a rigid XC bike around the frame. Never had such mileage from any other £200 spend.

mountain bikes that don't weigh a ton, are reliable, not expensive, and fairly light
widely available since the mid/late 90s, not so much before that

The right sized/ Shaped frame: It seems you cant always make a bike fit by swapping stems and moving the seat.
