'AN GOOD TYRE'
Strengths:
A good level of grip on just about every surface you can get your bike on. Not too heavy for a steel bead tyre.
Weaknesses:
Limited level of grip on the wet stuff. Narrow for a 2.3 tyre
Overall:
For £13 its a bargin. You'd have to double the price to find a better all-rounder

Mongoose Teocali Comp

'A TOP BIKE FOR ONLY £800'
Strengths:
Quality frame, freedrive gives a smooth ride and the hydraulic disc brakes do there job. Geometery gives a relaxed, yet responsive ride.
Weaknesses:
Feature-less rear shock and front forks. The lack of pro-pedal/lock-out/compression dampening on the rear shock means there's lots of pedal bob (well hidden by the freedrive) and gives the feeling that the bike is a bit lazy, needing more efort to get it moving.
Overall:
A good bike as standard with lots of potential for upgrading. Avalability problems ment I could only get a large frame, the stand over height is a bit limited and a shoter stem (90mm) was needed, but otherwise, everthings peachy :)
