UK Bike Reccomendation?

Quoted message said:

My Sarrason Raw (Cheap Halfords full suspension) bike is
finally dying after about 5 years. I am looking to
replace it.

I hope bike technology has improved in the last 5 years, so
am looking for reccomendations.

I am after a full suspension, preferably lighter than
the one I have (its VERY heavy). I am looking to spend
around £300

Can anyone reccomend a suitable model / store, that they
have been pleased with?

thanks

George

*Not* Halfords. Seriously.

Plus, if you want a *lightweight* full-suspension bike for
£300, I think you are going to be disappointed. If you
want to spend that sort of sum to get something decent, go
second-hand.

Find a decent local bike shop - what bit of the UK are you
in?

If you post over on uk.rec.cycling, you'll get lots of
friendly advice and recommendations.

Is all your cycling off-road, or mostly on-road or a
bit of both??
