Myself and others often sight Jamis as a winner
www.jamisbikes.com stateside of course, they're available your side o' the pond I'd reckon.
Trek, Giant, Bianchi..etc..etc.. all fine bikes. Jamis has steel bikes as well as other materials and styles to choose from. The site's not complex either,an excellant body of reference if nothing else. Given your price point, you have a great many choices in any of the brands I've listed. The Coda is a good one to check-on, given your criteria. In any case the sites provided by manufacturers as well as merchants provide a visual. A poster states some fine ideas on available texts as well. Your price-point is quite realistic, you'll find a fine bike
