The new giants are VERY good for the money TBH. And considering Giant make a hell of a lot of frames for other companys (kona, raleigh and a few others) you wouldnt be going wrong with either of them. We have just had delivery of all the '06 Giants and they look the same as last year! The rock SE would be best if you only wanna spend £200, but also the other one to look at is the Trek 3700 for £230. nice bikes too!
And Ryan, you REALLY do need to read about the new suspension tech stuff. The specialised EPIC is the most Hardtail "feeling" out the lot of them, and it actually feels like a hardtail till you hit a bump. And as these rear shocks have adjustable threshold, you can almost dial out ANY movement in the back end, or completely lock out the other Fox models.
i work in a bike shop, so if ya want any info on any models give us a shout mate.
Oh and COSSIEREP, good frames...........
