Sorry to jump on the thread but I am a new member and in order for me to create a new thread I have to wait 24 hours and post at least three times so hopefully I will be able to do this soon.
In the meantime I have a similar question as the OP but my budget is £100-£250. I live in hackney so have seen a lot of the No Logo bikes and similar cheap makes and from reading the forums I see that those bikes will end up costing me more in the long run.
I would love to build my own bike but at the moment I am a definite newbie so I will not attempt that just yet.
I am 5ft 9"/10"
I dont mind second hand bikes at all as long as they are in decent nick.
I would preferably want a flip flop hub so I can try out the fixie option when I am ready, but this is not a deal breaker.

Other than that I am up for any suggestions.
