At less than a grand you are going to have to compromise a little with a full-sus bike. There are a few available, but you maywant to upgrade parts on it fairly quickly.

Something like a Specilized Pitch Pro or Specialized FSR would probably fit the bill... You should be able to get 09 models for just under the £1000 mark, both of which are good value for money.

As far as offers go, then take a look here:

Loads of Giant Full-susser for less than a grand.. Quite a few for quite a lot less as well. if he wants to go to £900 then this looks good:

Although you will have to check the sizing as many of these are only available in Small or Extra Large.

Alternatively at that price point you could get a quite tasty hardtail.

780 quid wil get you a ful xt giant anthem on a 08 model. bargain! Im well stoked with mine, although did up grade the 90mm forks to a 130mm set. heaps of deals, best bet is to buy a copy of mbuk an dflick thru, then check the web links off the ads.

my specialised FSR seems to work really well for me; but maybe i should have bought a hard tail!
