Thanks @clefty and @mands! I am based in London and have tried a few bikes out but haven't yet managed to find one that hits the sweet spot of lightweight and nippy and reliable and durable and I like the look of and meets my budget!
I agree that the Charge bikes are great. I had my trusty Plug for 5 years and so just fancied a change. It all seems a bit risky ordering online though. After trying the new Charge model out today, I'm tempted to get it in blue, which meets all my criteria. I'd prefer to get it from an independent, but they only have impractical (for me) white or boring black and silver :-(
