   Specialized Carve rides well and is reasonably specced for the money.

   Sadly the Boardman 29ers aren't availabe in the UK. I can only assume that Halfords are scared of a "new" type of MTB but won't let Boardman sell them through another supplier (Wiggle).

   The Cube 29ers are bargains, miles better value than the Carves.

   Or if he wanted to chuck another £400 in there's a very flash looking carbon version.

   Rose do a good spec one for that price. Stretch to £1260 and get a Canyon which is what I've done

   The Charge did very well in reviews recently, tempted myself.

   Charlie is doing them for £900...
