Ok seriously, the Lana'I for 50 Pounds more is really worth it for you, ok?
Unless you can't buy it over there but you should be able to.

But of those 3, yes number 2 is the best.

Bikes: Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc 2004 And identit Dr Jekyll

Saracen is a pretty highly respected make in the UK, Bike Number 2 is DEFINATLY the best, get that one, you wont be dissapointed, not for £300 anyways

Oh, or! Buy the Specialized Hardrock Sport from Evans cycles.... £245 and you SERIOUSLY cant go wrong with one of them!

Enjoy the bike though, whatever you decide to get
