    That all depends on what you want it to do. Commute, race, roads/mountains...downhill, freeride, xc, dh. Brands and specs/requirements differ for every discipline. Tell us what kind of cycling you are interested in and someone will be able to help you out.

    Also, there is no 'best brand,' people find they are suited to different bikes. Brand is a minor detail as once you go above a certain pricw bracket eg. €500 all bikes are of good quality and component specs are more important than frame branding. Comfort is more important than a shiny specialized or santa cruz badge.

    what kind of cycling will you be doing? your still kinda vague about the whole thing. secondhand you could get a nice racer i guess, same applies to a mtn bike.
    pls help us with some information, so we can help you make a decision.

    try a recent thread below by RasTa, he's selling his GIANT OCR4 for 300eur ono.

    going second hand is your best bet, there's not really any road bikes worth looking at new for 400eur.

    Import from cheaper countries, like the north of Ireland - ChainReactionCycles.com.
