Merida big trail is what I got in the end - I then put tubeless tyres on it.
It has the basic tick list -
Otherwise, I’d recommend something like a whyte - but they go up to about 1.3k to get ok spec. Alternatively singletrack world has a good classified forum, if you just keep your eyes peeled.
I was slightly torn between a trail and more xc MTB - but I’m glad I went with trail in the end. Ultimately it’s just more fun (if heavy!)
