so what I need is a max spend of around £500 to get a bike that i can use for the following :

riding to work (*cough*) -)
toottling around with the kids
family hols, centerparcs etc

other criteria - not to be used for serious mtb or road duties - I have a cx bike, a hardtail and a FS for that !

ideally deore level kit, incl disc brakes

rigid fork

I don't want to go over the £500 mark as i then start getting into the territory of my other bikes and the whole point here is to get something that I won't worry too much about chaining up when out with the family, on roof of car etc.

So far the Ridgeback Storm seems to be the best I can find :

any other ideas ?

Thanks
