I've found the Saracen Raw Pro at what seams like a good price (£379) - has anyone got any experience of this particular bike? What I really want is the cheapest 'decent' mountain bike (hard-tail or not) with Hydraulic disc brakes. How much will I have to pay for such luxuries??

if you go with the cheapest hydro brake bike it will most likely be speced with bottom of the barrel disk brakes. alot of these brakes are out performed by there mechanical brethren. if you cant aford a bike with a good set of hydros like hayes or magura go with a bike speced with a set of avid mechanicals which outperform most low level hydros. I have heard good things about shimanos new deore hydro so maybe thats an option. avoid house brand brakes these are shabby compared to thier namebrand cousins. good luck.
