Hi
I'm looking to get myself a mountain bike, primarily for commuting (14 miles twice a week), but next year will probably be doing some long rides (coast to coast).
My budget isn't very much, £150-£160 max, and I realise this will severely limit quality options, but I'm looking for a basic bike I can add to/upgrade later if necessary.
I've found the following but I'm clueless with these things - so I could do with some help with what a good features and whats just sales drivel.

Many of the term are completely bewildering to me, so any help or alternative suggestions would be greatly appreciated
