[#1733063]

The missus wants to get herself a commuter bike via the C2W scheme, has set herself a max budget of approx £450 RRP for the bike. Anyone got any good suggestions for easy going hybrid types?

I've already listed the Giant Expression N3 (£350) & N7 (£475) http://paulscycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m9b4s18p3084

This is also pretty cool! http://www.summerbicycles.com/Bikes/Picnic.html

What else would be recommended, there must be hundreds out there?

Ta.

Not a hybrid but the Spesh Myka HT would be my suggestion if it's only 'easy going' commuting (stick some thin slicks on it). Great woman specific frame, basic 7 speed is only £300, it'll hold it's value loads better than either of those (if it ends up not being used) & is actually a really nice bike.
