[Closed] Help me choose a new bike

My existing bike (Kona, 10 years old, 7 speed, v-brakes) is getting very 'tired', and rather than spend money on the knackered drive train its time to bite the bullet and buy a new bike..

Requirements;
Skinny tubes
26" wheels
Disc brakes

around 850

so far have seen;
Genesis Latitude 00
Orange Pure 7, but looks like the 2012 version is a lot more money
Charge Duster - but a bit more than I wanted to spend

Any other suggestions?

thanks, it looks like they only have an 18" - I think I would need a 19".

Currently, going through the Evans website, looking at sale bikes 1 by 1 - might end up with something different than I first planned.
