    If it's just for the road I'd just get something off Ebay or look on www.retrobike.co.uk for something interesting.
    Without having to worry about suspension, everything is simple enough to sort out.
    My current rigid pub bike type thing cost me about £20 all up.

    Carrera Subway at Halfords? Rigid, 24 spd non grippy shifts and disc brakes. Quite a nice looking bike too.

    Otherwise there are a load of generic flat bar road bikes for grabs on ebay from various sellers which arent ridiculously heavy or badly equipped.
