I got the "which is the best bike" question. Tiny budget, no time or inclination to tinker.
I pointed them to this:

It's fairly horrendous but maybe a sensible start I think and shouldn't fall the pieces? It's got 'full Claris' (swoon), the fork isn't the horrible alloy or pig iron type you get on cheap bikes. It has room for 28mm tyres and rack bosses.
