At that price, I'd be looking at a Genesis Core 30. Their bikes look wonderful at that price, are well specced and ride nicely. Win win win!

on-one 456, pikes and wheels off the classifides, thow in the contents of your spares box would be arround £500, leaving a few pennies spare to buy any remaining bits.

Lots of bikes are similar at that price.
Boardman is best value. The gensis Core is a bike aimed at slightly burlier riding so might suit you better.
Well done on the weight loss BTW.

Thanks

Its amazing what an incentive it is when she who must be obeyed offered me £100 for each stone I lost towards a new Bike after telling her of many a story of by Biking days before my third lift crises and weight gain

But liking some of the suggestions so far I feel some testing coming on
