Although your budget is limited for a good MTB, you have hit the right time to look, being as 2014 models are being cleared for the 2015 season, if you don't mind a last years bike, try places like Triton Cycles or Pauls Cycles, pushing you budget to £600 could help a lot.
Oops sorry! I was wondering why that bike was so cheap. It's a child's "first bike" in description upon further inspection. Silly me
I'm willing to increase my budget now that it seems like I won't be able to get a good MTB for under £500. I may have to wait a bit longer to save before I decide on my bike. I don't think an older model would bother me. I should scope around my local area and see if there's any good bike shops close to where I live and check what size I would need. Sorry if I sound like such a newbie
