Decent beginners Mountain Bike

In the Halfords sale I picked up a Carrera Kraken hardtail Mountain Bike for £200. The Kraken's original price was £349. This bike has pretty decent forks, gears, saddle and awesome cable operated disk brakes. I have been thrashing around the off road tracks around here for the last few days and I must say I'm delighted with it. Here's a review http://www.mbuk.com/firstridedetails.asp?id=66. They are selling out pretty fast, so you will have to be quick.
If you are looking for a decent off road bike at beginner level, snap it up. Take care you get the right size.

Survivor of debt, redundancy, endowment scams, share crashes, sky-high inflation, lousy financial advice, and multiple house price booms. Comfortably retired after learning to back my own judgement.
This is not advice - hopefully it's common sense..

Wish I could afford one, have £80 from my birthday last Feb and about £50 from Christmas but can't make up the rest and money is tight so I refuse to get the rest on credit card or overdraft....
Gutted, apparently the forks on this alone were worth the £200!!!

Great bike, but no the forks are not worth £200. £50 is nearer to the price.0
