Salut all
Looking for a first bike for a relative but only want to spend about £200-£300. Mainly for commuting, putting in about 15 miles a day. I would love to get him a drop-bar road bike to force him into real road cycling but he doesn't fancy it much, somehow. He liked the look of the Ridgeback Genesis I had with flat bars and faster wheels which would be ideal for him but this is a bit expensive as a present. I have these in mind for the moment http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/sport-flat-bar-17603789/

or evenhttp://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...80-33957-106165-106166_parentcategoryrn_47151
Does anyone have any advice or other suggestions at this price range, bearing in mind he knows nothing about bike maintenance so would prefer a new rather than second-hand bike?
Cheers
