I've 90% convinced myself that I should buy a mountain bike.

I did a bit of bmx as a kid, and I've ridden a non suspension late 80s mtb round some tracks in Scotland (in my youth). Last week I went round some of Cli-Machx in Wales and now want to do more.

So I'm basically a beginner.

Best bet to get a decent hard tail bike? Or is that just paving the way to inevitably having to buy a full sus bike within a year?

I want an all round bike which I can ride up and down hills and trails. I am not going to be doing any racing or anything madly technical, but I would like to tackle some good descents in due course.

Any suggestions welcome - currently quite like the look of this:

Whyte T130 or Cannondale Habit

Hardtails are rad too

Thanks - I like the look of the Whyte.

Having watched some more stuff on youtube, think maybe the Canyon is a bit too racy for my requirements.
