These are the three i have picked out which i fancy.
So far i am tied between the GT and Mongoose. But quite like the look of the scott.
Also which is the best type of brakes to go for, The old v type or disk. If disk i notice there are two types hydralic and cable.
Just looking for a bit of advice really or if anyone knows of any alternatives for around the same price that would be great!

GT
Although, I have the '10 Carrera Fury, and it's a brilliant hardtail.

I had a modern GT after having some classic ones, new ones are just not the same.
