hi there are so many bikes you can get for under £1000. If you want an all round purpose bike go for maybe a dmr, as they are very good. I personally have a hardrock comp. I have been told people have been know to jump 10ft drops and the frame is unharmed. If you go for something like this,( you can pick up a frame quite cheaply) you can then add all the other parts you want, such as halo freedom wheels and maybe a z1 freeride fork. this will be a really good setup and if ou have any spare money you could maybe buy another fork if you are into xc then swap the forks over which is what i am doing at the moment until i get a proper trials bike.
