This £250 bike gets a good review http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/vulcan-07-27707, I know its 2 yo, but sure that will have an equivalent, I know Halfords stuff scores low on 'snob value' but their 'proper' bikes are fairly well sorted now, its just the mass market stuff you need to steer clear of!

My mate had a Carrera bike and he thought it was fine. So fine in fact that he upgraded just about every part on it! ;0)

To be honest, if you must buy a brand new bike for £250 then I'm sure you could do a lot worse. One thing I would say is that Halfords sell off their bikes at a big discount quite often. If you can hang off you'll maybe get the bike for a good price.

Also, try not to let the children who work in Halfords damage too many parts of your new bike whilst they're nailing it together!

I'd go with the trek 4300 - but admittedly I'm biased. Try some before you put an order in and see which one fits you best...
