26" wheeled basic hardtail mtb

[iateyoubutler]

Looking for the above as a commuter machine during the winter (had one before and it was excellent for the job). Any out there?

Preferably with disc brakes and I`m 5`11

Got £300 to spend

Thanks

Not an MTB but would make a pukka winter commuter

Bit over budget but Halfords often have sales and 27.5" tyres but these are well regarded:

Not exactly the criteria you mentioned but does a CX bike work with chunky tyres as i’ve got one for sale.
