Find me a good bike under £150 [+REP TO ALL!]

Firstly, I found this bike, is it any good?

But anyway, can someone find me a decent bike with disc brakes, mens bike and comfortable saddle?

+Rep to EVERYONE that helps. :)

A bit over but worth it.
Get it from a cycle life shop too.

for dirt jumps no!
with dirt jumps you dont need a dual suspension. and it will make it more weighty so harder to ride.

the one id reccomend is called a raleigh ST24
It has 24" wheels so not a 20" like a bmx and not 26" like full jump bikes.
Its a good in between bike. We have sold loads of these at the shop i work at as they are popular.
Heres a link to it
If you tell me where your from i can tell you a shop that will be near you that should have one in stock.

Thanks, it does look quite nice, but I don't like V-brakes, plus it's steel, meaning its pretty damn heavy. :P

+Rep anyway.
