  • Have a look at what decathlon have to offer -- they often have some very good bikes at great prices.

    also halfords - if you can check it out mechanically yourself or have a good reliable bikehut locally. (they do exist!)

    Bit hard to help you without a budget..

    Lets say 300 quid.. for flat bar theres the Specislized Sirrus, for drops Carrera Virtuoso

    Cheap as possible would probably fall to bits
