Thanks, I'll take another look at the Langsters.

That Condor one is gorgeous! I think that price is just for the frameset though.

Thanks @clefty and @mands! I am based in London and have tried a few bikes out but haven't yet managed to find one that hits the sweet spot of lightweight and nippy and reliable and durable and I like the look of and meets my budget!
I agree that the Charge bikes are great. I had my trusty Plug for 5 years and so just fancied a change. It all seems a bit risky ordering online though. After trying the new Charge model out today, I'm tempted to get it in blue, which meets all my criteria. I'd prefer to get it from an independent, but they only have impractical (for me) white or boring black and silver :-(

@Khornight2 Thanks for the comment. The Temple bikes can only be tried out in Bristol and the Wiggle ones are sold online. Is there anywhere in London that I can try a Quella?
@markrjohnson I know the Langster is a good bike but I'm not a fan of its look. Any thoughts on the 4 listed above?

Hello kind people of LFGSS,
My Charge Plug was stolen and I need a replacement for commuting in London. I am in no way an expert and have spent hours reading this forum and researching online, but there are so many options that I am now just confused. I have narrowed it down to one of the following, please can you help me choose? I am going through a Cycle To Work scheme and so need to get an OTP...I have a budget up to £500. Many thanks!Fixation London Islington
