No first hand experience but I understand they're good value though perhaps a little heavy.

I got one of these in the sale for £285, Pottsy you are right it is heavy but it has mudguard clearance and lugs too so fine for work.

thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm very interested in the on-one macinato, great value. I'd be happy to go second hand but struggling to find anything. I'm 6'4" so need quite a big frame. and

I have a used Giant Bowery that I have up for sale for £285 (offers possibly accepted ;-) ) if that is of any interest, pretty much as new condition! Depends where in the country you are tho I guess.

where abouts are you and what size? sounds pretty good!

for your £300 you could buy my single speed and fixie that i am selling

what bike is it? what size and where are you in the country?

any picks of these would be great! cheers

That's a bugger, I sold my Fuji Feather a couple of weeks ago, and as I'm 6' 5" and the bike was a 61cm it would have been perfect for you

Completely agree re the Pompino option. I had one and it was great, very versatile.

Equally for something a little more slick, the Macinato:

Also £100.

Any good to you ( first pic is it built up as a fixed,just a bit too big for me , I'm 6'0 and stand over height for this is 34 ")

Ah, it is a medium frame, I think it may be a bit small for you. I am 5'11 and there is not too much adjustment left. It is the steel 2011 model which has a sloping top tube so it measures as 48.5 cm. The geometry is here... http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-in/bikes/model/bowery.72/7537/46891/#geometry
