Anyone know what's good right now for around £500? Asking for a friend (no, really) who wants something decent, reliable and fun to ride. He's no mountain biker but I'm guessing he might end up riding in Dalby or on trails like those - nothing too technical, but he might as well have a proper bike to grow into, just in case he gets the bug. Ta for any tips.

*I work for WiggleCRC, so I've posted a link showing someone else thinks it's a great bike. There's also a 29er version for £500
Voodoo Hoodoo worth a look at £550. Deore gears and an air fork .. good value!
Bizango if on special offer and cheap enough a good choice too.
Cheers folk, keep them coming...

Any ex-rental bikes coming up locally? Some good bargains to be had there.
