Sasha:
All of that stuff under £550 is probably asking a lot. Specialized do a 650b Pitch this year in a few different models that might suit ya. Remote lockout is a bit of an unnecessary gimmick, try and avoid. I would try avoid cheap SRAM/Avid stuff too if possible, Shimano just works better on the low end..

This ticks all the boxes:

- 26" or 650b (29" is just too big for my liking)
- 17/18" frame
- Not an absolute tank
- Not shitty forks
- Solid feeling cranks
- Durable drivetrain
- Reasonable brakes (disc) that need minimal maintenance
- Under about £550
- Would prefer to buy new, not second hand
Find me a bike, BG.
P.S. Does remote lockout on forks actually work properly? It would come in handy if it does. Mechanical or hydraulic discs? What brands/components should I definitely avoid?

The Gensis Core 10 is right on your budget, looks pretty good.

I want to buy so much shit. New force 22 groupset, MTB wheels, Devilles and Transition Patrol. I'm gonna be so skint this summer.
Kinchy:
Man, me too. I'd be well up for Force 22 Hydro if I had some cash, plus Giro Empires too. And new wheels. And shit loads of lycra. And a Garmin 810.
