i recommend the fuji - for the simple reason that that's what i did. i got one, they are stupidly cheap - try and price up a roberts or mercian or bob jackson and you'll see how cheap they are - and i rode it everywhere and thrashed it to pieces and skidded and track stood and became a bit of a twat really (or more of a twat). i replaced the stock wheels and bars, but this was a good idea because i transferred all these bits to my new bob jackson, and i spent this morning turning the fuji into frankenstein's monster so i can play polo on it and leave it outside the pub. the only problem is i can't afford a brake for it. oh well.
so think small, walk first, get big scary amazing bike later when you're sure.
