late pass, but if this is in stock in his size seems good!
if you wanted to save a little the marin nicasio or four corners are worthy options, but honestly finding 2021 bikes which turn up in the first half of the year is getting harder and harder, if they like the look and they'll ride it, go for it.

also i agree, i would want no bigger than 700x35/37 for a "do it all", over that you're into fetish territory

A friend of mine is looking to buy a bit of a do it all, steel framed bike. He wants to use it for getting about town, exploring lanes and occasional over night trips. He sent me this which Alp Kit sell that he likes the look of. I believe that's right at the top of his budget at £1,300. I've suggested having a look at a Genesis TDF but not sure what else to recommend. I suppose the question is, what's the closest thing you can buy to an Arkose that's made of steel and costs around £1300 or less?
