If you are considering purchasing a new bike and are not sure which to choose I can recommend the C.B. Urban 300.It is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike. Having an aluminium frame it is light and easy to ride (Make sure you get the correct size frame) The Shimano gears I have found to be excellent,the brakes are very good to. I chose this particular model over the Urban 100 & 200 due to the better specification of parts and the front suspension which enhances both comfort on road and offroad. It is ideal for treking on trails or country pathways. TECHNICAL INFORMATION. Brake Levers: Shimano S.T.I Brakes: Forge V Alloy Chain: Z9000 Chainset: Shimano C 203 Number of Gears 24 Frame / Colour: Taper tube alloy Frame sizes: 18,20,22 Freewheel: Shimano 8 speed cassette Gear Levers: Shimano S.T.I Gears Front: Shimano Gears Rear: Shimano Alivio Handlebars: Tioga Riser Headset: Ahead Hub Front / Rear: Alloy QR front and rear Rims: Alloy Saddle: Selle Bassano Seat Clamp: Alloy Seat Pillar / Bolt: Suspension Stem: Alloy Tyres: Road and Trail Model Number: 3981 When checking for the best prices try the web sites which is where I purchased mine from. One site has delivery included. I have not tried all the bikes out there around this price range but I am 100% happy with this one. I paid £267.99 if you can beat this you would do well.
Last point only one thing required for this bike : Padded shorts a must for long distances.
Happy cycling.

Sounds more like you are selling it rather than reviewing it! I cycle to work every day from South London to the city! My bike was £800 but it is very special!
Thanks for the op.
