Don't go for a cheapo. If you buy a decent OTP (£500+), you'll enjoy it far more (although you won't learn as much about replacing crappy sub-standard parts with good quality individual components). I realise you're probably a student, but the old adage 'buy cheap, buy twice' is more like 'buy cheap, buy thrice' here. Save some more money and get advice from a good shop, e.g. Fitzrovia Bicycles.
