Do we have bikers here?

So, my very old MTB was stolen (yay, Romania!) and I'm looking to buy a new bike. My budget is around 500-550 €. Problem is I'm a noob when it comes to this and I only know that I need a hardtail model. Now, I've been looking at this model for a while. What do you think? Is there a better alternative for the same price?

Hi man, it is sad to hear that your MB has been stolen. I know people who put over 1000 grand, (UK money) into MTB and BMX's and things and have them stolen. I spent £800 on a bike and I had the frame snap, the fork bend, and the bars snap also within the first few months of my purchase. What sort of MTB are you looking for and what do you expect to be using it for? Like casual road use, actual downhill riding, cross country? Maybe this sort of stuff can come in hand and I could give you a hand.

I am using this bike at the moment, it works like a dream for what I use it for. That is just to ride from my house to work and home, which is roughly a 5 mile ride on road, pavement, and dirt. Carrera Vulcan
