:lol: Plenty of choice there then Richard at that price just really down to your choice. Evans does have quite a good choice bought my Gt from there and not bad service either !
My personal choice would be a Kona always liked them :D  Got a Kona last year and have no arguments about it great bike !! love it!!

I always find it more fun to build your own!
I originaly bought a Scott a few years ago and its slowly evolved. I think the only part remaining from the original is the bottom bracket!!

Id second that on the marzocchi forks, simple and very effective.
I had a pair of manitou and after hitting a tree (dont ask) they folded up!
I was not impressed!

I had pretty much the same requirement, and went for a Marin Hawk Hill.  It's just what I was looking for.

Yup, that's what I did with my On One. Bought the 456 frame, then built it up with Marzocchi All Mountain forks (good, solid and basic), hydraulic discs etc. Great fun putting it all together, plus you can spec it up exactly how you want it.

Jamin:
Mine has an identiti frame now with halo rims and the marzocchi forks....totaly Bomb proof... despite the attempts of those pesky trees that jump out in front of you!
