I bought a Touche a month or two ago and am really happy with it so far. Would recommend upgrading the chain and tyres (£8 and £20 for the pair extra) as the stock stuff isn't great but other than that they are a great bike!
The stock gearing (48/18) is perfect in London and has taken me to Brighton and done loads of laps of Richmond Park so should be about right in Manchester as long as you aren't on too hilly a commute.
