    That depends on the company deal some are better than others.

    New £150 is going to be fairly cheap and nasty, I have a £300/400 CX that is fine if heavy for what it is.

    The main issue for bikes and cheap bikes in general is maintenance and set up. Does friend have a good Bike shop for such stuff?

    I can sort all that out for her tbh and got enough tools to start my own shop.

    Just need to find out whether cycle to work scheme still possible? Or if not what £150going to get. (second hand maybe?)
