Yes. Id be surprised if you coumd get a tidy 29er for that, but you'll find any number of decent 26" bikes.

Should be. I got this Trek 6500 in the same sunburst orange paint job on ebay (in mint condition from a CC member as it turned out) for £300. Great bike. I actually owned an identical one from new but stupidly sold it to my brother to help pay for my Tricross. As in your case, I missed it and had to replace it!

Should be for a 26er, not so sure about a 29er. I got one of these back in the autumn which I'm happy with and comes out at about £340 new currently, so 2nd hand for that sort of spec should be under £300.

You can
This idea has kinda fallen on its bum a bit as I've realised I have nowhere to store an MTB!
keep it in my garage if you want, there's plenty of room and it will keep the there bikes happy. There, problem solved, now hurry up and buy a bike!

We are going MTB tonight, so you have got at least an hour before the bike shops of Ipswich close to get yourself one...
