Hi,
I am looking at replacing my bike which died this weekend. I use it mainly for commuting to work and around town, but occasionally do ride on tow paths. I would like a step through with gears but I do not mind how upright the bike is. I have a budget of around £200 but could increase slightly for a good, reliable model that will last.
Is there a particular brand at this price range that is reliable and robust?
Is buying off the internet a really bad idea?
I have been to a lot of LBS and they all seem to mostly be out of budget, although one has a pro bike, ridgeback and claud butler on offer and they are almost within price range.
Any help appreciated
