Have a look at Decathlon's offering - they've started doing cycle to work now.

If all else fails the Boardmans are excellent.

Hard to go wrong with any of those.

Persuade him that he needs a HT and he will get a better bike that will need less maintenance.

If it's CTW then he's unlikely to be able to buy from Pauls (which do great deals) If he has to have a FS then I'd get the Boardman - very hard to beat in terms of value for a current year model.

I had one of the 9.1 bikes, great value at £800 even better at £700 I believe if you can get to a store still selling old 2012 stock. Was a nice enough bike, rode well and rear suspension felt more expensive than it was.

You can use Cyclescheme at Paul's. Can't remember if they add 10% to the sale price though. A mate of mine used Cyclescheme to get a Giant XTC from there a few years ago.

Halfords also give you a voucher for 10% value for accessories.
