    It sounds a bit too cheap to be much use. Spend a bit more in a reputable place.

    If you mean the bike at the link above then it does not look great. I would look around for something from Trek, Giant, Specialized etc.

    This on Ebay is the typr of thing I mean (remove dodgy rack)

    Go to decathlon, their cheepest is £300, but it’ll be a country mile ahead of that.

    Go Outdoors had some reasonable bikes around that price.

    This reviewer gave his four stars out of five, despite:

    An overall cheap roadbike that does the job
    Bad Points: Cheap build and parts – probably will have to make alterations
    Fork came bent – had to bend back into place with hammer
    handle bar wrap things keep coming off.

    Leave it Maurice.

    Decathlon. I wouldn’t bother with anything else when buying on a budget.
