If you had to buy a new £400 Mountain Bike

[widowmaker]

Recomendations for an entry level Mountain Bike. Cheap and cheerful thats not a dog to ride - the moon on a stick ??

Through the cycle to work scheme so has to be new , just to leave at my digs and a few trips trough the Dorset Mud. I know it wont be like my Retrobike at Home though.

You will be lumbered with a shite, heavy prone to rust suspension fork. I simply wouldnt bother.

If it were me, I'd ask on here for a quick simple project for a few quid and use that instead.

some nice cx bikes about as an alternative

Agreed, for that money you should get something nice on here in this section or the 98 onwards section.

Re:

Well done to the above for suggesting second hand when the op tells us why that's not an option :facepalm:

I'd be looking towards a halfords voodoo, boardman or the like. Get one in the sale and you could end up with something half decent.

Re:

Just imagine, a Retrobike ride to work scheme with £400. And you were the first to get your hands on the deal I'd have at least two more bikes
