I’d look at Pauls Cycles.

Extensive research* brings up this for £400.

Pinnacle ramin one is only £25 over budget

This is what Decathlon have for the money. It’s in a sale so you’ll get some change. I suppose it’s all about how you define decent, but looks every bit as good as my first mountain bike which I bought for similar-ish money back in the day and I had loads of fun on that…

Stevedoc too big I’m afraid!

I was toying with N-1 my bikes……so could release a 2014 Boardman Pro 29er hard tail. New superstar tubeless wheelset on it and SLX rear mech as a branch ate the old one. Would come with the original wheels too although the freehubs goosed hence brought some new lighter tubeless wheels but fronts good……it’s a large…..£400……..
But it’s a large too……

I think you’d be silly not to get 2nd hand 26″ at that budget..
