Wanted: Hybrid/tourer

A friend is after a decent secondhand bike to commute and ferry their baby about on.

Could be a hybrid or tourer, flat bar or drops. Budget up to £400.

Main requirements:

• Can take a decent size tyre (32mm+)
  
• Long distance commute so not a tank
  
• Can take a rack
  
• Won't need lots of work straightaway
  
  

I think something like a croix de fer / kaffenback might fit the bill but could be anything really.

Has anyone got anything suitable? Or any good ideas?
