Hi guys

Basically, Im looking for a new full suspension Mountain Bike, I was recommended Ghost bikes, I haven't heard much about this brand, but they're meant to be as good as specialized, to what extent is this true?

Also, I've been looking at Halfords Carrera Banshee X, I saw this model from 2008. Im attracted to it because it's got a good story and it's a hell of a lot less in terms of price, than other models. Also, from what I've researched, it's good because it's got marzocchi forks, tektra hydraulic brakes and lock on/off knob to stiffen the rear suspension for road riding.
Have a look at it and tell me what you think,

I'm also interested in the likes of Specialized, Kona, Boardman, Iron Horse, Cannondale, Claud Butler etc . . .

My budget stretches to £600 MAX - so I know that im restricted to 2nd hand bikes.

Thanks in advance everyone thumbup
