I've had 2.
An expensive Giant with aluminium frame and gears a,d a 2nd hand, cheap steel SS from a DIY market.
Although the steel one was havier, less pretty and needed some extra adjustment, it rode as least as good as the Giant. Sold it a couple of years later for the same price.
You can buy those things used for GBP 25 to 50.-
I wouldn't buy a new one for GBP 300 +
