I'm looking to buy a new bike specifically for commuting.
Needs to come in a 15" or 16" frame. Maximum budget is £270.
Also needs to be good for climbing hills. Want to add a pannier.
I have a womens Giant road bike which I can cycle to work on in 14 mins, think its about 6 miles. Quickest I can make it home is 34 mins. (uphill all the way)
Tried it on mountain bike with slicks but its not great.
Looking at flat bar hybrids with tougher wheels as the road surface is horrendous.
Currently looks at these:

Any thoughts?
