How is Dynamo lights, rack and a triple too much technology? The forks are actually used on a few 29ers.
There is a rigid version at the same price, which may be a better option. It is very fugly, I absolutely agree. That colour is yuk, it seems such good value - as long as it delivers what it says. I've never heard of the brand, which is what I was after advice for.

@Chris.
Just get a second-hand Dawes Galaxy off eBay for £100-300.
Those hybrid / front sus / commuter things are monstrosities. Too much technology for simple tasks.
If you have to have front suspension why not just buy a nice second-hand Rock Lobster or Specialized or Kona etc and stick a rack and whatever tyres you want on it?
