Will ask in the local shop in Mansfield Woodhouse, see what I need, or don't need.

Your local bike shop is usually the best place especially if they are avid (no pun - they make brakes and levers!) riders. Think about your requirements before you go, like where you might ride what the terrain is, are you a fair weather rider only. Are you going for big downhilling or jumps, do you want disc brakes? - Will you be maintaining your own bike? Do you want regular servicing (Marin give you two free) - Suspension options are massive...
The bike in the 1st post reads OK, but given a couple of weeks I could probably write most of those parts off especially the forks and gears. I personnally would recommend Marin, Trek or Speciallized - It's worth spending a little extra if you can afford it.
How much are you looking at spending?
