need info

Hi I am trying to find a review on the Claud Butler Lakeside.I have been scouring the net but haven't been able to find anything of use.Is this bicycle any good.I am not looking to do any major cycling with it..just to commute about 3-4 miles to work and to do leisurely cycles along local towpaths.The other is a Dawes Sahara .Lastly is a thumbshift(rapidfire) better than a revoshift?

Appears the C B Lakeside might be a piece of crap.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B005D75CKI

Lots of info on google about the Dawes... Reads to be a low level bike popular in the UK.

Thumbshift vs Revoshift....I read a "debate" on the MTB sub-forum about this topic and the majority agreed that Thumbshift was prefered.
