The definitive OTP ( Off-The-Peg ) List (<£500 and <£1,000 sections)

I'd say Surly and Brixton.

1. The Surly is the bike I wish I'd always bought first. It can do everything (and they're sizings fit me).
   
2. Brixton are lovely
   
3. I don't like the Condor options.
   
4. Pretty sure they'd do cyclescheme -pm hillbilly he works there to confirm.
