Claud Butler Urban 600

I have been offered one of these at a good price (£500) and I'm in two minds as to take up the offer. The bike is well specced for the price, but the triple chainset (I definitely do not need a triple and will never use the smallest ring) and only one bottle mount are playing on my mind. I'm looking for a fast commuter bike (12 mile commutes - 6 each way), with flat bars, mudguard fixings and ideally would like two sets of water bottle bosses, one for a water bottle and one to carry a frame-mounted lock. On the face of it it is a good bike and for the price I've been offered it's very tempting.

Does anyone else have one of these and what do you think of it?

Also has anyone changed the triple to a double on one of these?
